First of all the location is ideal! Back Bay is a wonderful place to stay, very safe neighborhood with several restaurants and coffee shops all around. T metro line is just a block away. You can reach downtown by metro or even on foot if the weather allows it. Furthermore Charles river is only a few blocks away if you wish to have a walk by the river! There are also plenty of options for shopping. The apartment was very clean, the wi-fi connection was excellent and by the window you can see the prudential mall center. I would highly recommend this apartment!
