We actually arrived in Boston early but the apartment was ready! Nelson and Marlene had the fridge stocked with basics--bread, eggs, milk and orange juice. The apartment is very welcoming. Clean and well decorated, I would even say HGTV worthy! We were VERY comfortable. The towels and linens were top notch. The bus was just a short walk down the street. While the community is working class, it is clean and safe. We were very comfortable the entire stay. Being from "The South"--Mississippi, in particular--we know hospitality! We certainly saw it here. We would not have made it a week in a small hotel room for this price.
