This studio condo is beautiful, modern, clean, quiet, and surprisingly airy. As described, it is a basement unit, but still has plenty of light from the windows in the kitchen area. The black and white minimalist design elements were extremely soothing for us (especially in contrast to my own home, which unfortunately has more clutter than I'd like to admit!) This design, as well as the delicate and refreshing scent of lavender from the soap in the bathroom, helped us find peace and calm during our stay. Meghan was a wonderful host. She was incredibly kind to us. We were in Boston for a memorial, and I had sent her a message the day before our arrival, asking if she had an iron we could borrow after our flight to touch up our clothes. When we arrived, she greeted us warmly, and had already set out the iron for us to use.
This friendly and down-to-earth neighborhood in East Boston is wonderful: it is withing walking distance of Bremen Street Park Greenway, through which there are landscaped paths that lead to the Boston Harbor (with many beautiful murals that illustrate the history of East Boston along the way), perfect for walking, running, and biking. We enjoyed the neighborhood quite a bit: during our two-night stay, we sampled delicious Italian pastries at Spinelli's, and enjoyed two breakfasts at Angela's cafe (the over-easy eggs I had on my Chilaquiles were hands-down the most perfectly cooked over-easy eggs I've ever had in my life, and the salsa was heavenly. But don't order only one dulce de leche pancake: order a full stack... you will want them all!)
I would definitely want to return to Meghan's place on another trip, and next time, hopefully have time to attend one of her yoga classes! She made us feel extremely welcome.
