My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week for our first time in Boston and it was great! The place was super clean and spacious. The kitchen was perfect for making all meals of the day, although we mainly had breakfast there. The balcony was our favorite feature. We had breakfast in the sun and spent the evenings playing games with the little lights around the deck (bring bug spray because I got bit A TON). The area has a great vegan ice cream shop Fomu about a ten minute walk away and the apartment is 30 minutes from Boston common. Also, the Friendly Toast (about a 20 min walk) is amazing for food. We got free parking the first and last night, right out front (free only on weekends). The other nights we parked in the Christian Science Plaza, expensive but felt confident the car would be safe down there, plus you could keep it there longer than 24 hours.
There are a few cons, not horrible but some things to be aware of. The first being location. Now, although the apartment is in a safe area, it is only a few blocks away from a not so safe area. We had to drive south down Mass Ave and once you hit the medical center the scene changes drastically. The area is near a tent community for opioid addicts (Mass and Cass). We avoided that area once we stumbled upon it and luckily we never had to drive through there after that. Again, the apartment itself is in a safe area, but is close to a part some may not want to be in. Another issue we found was the shower. There is a giant window within and it’s a beautiful feature BUT if you take a shower in the evening, your silhouette can be seen from the outside. And if any of the neighbors are outside they will see that.
Overall, it was a great place!
