The unit is clean and the vibe accurately captured by photos but beware that the arm chair pictured is not in the room; there was a table with 2 chairs (not 4 as pictured). The middle bedroom has no window (unless you count a transom that faces the unit's kitchen above the pocket door).
Re: Security- the area in general had a fairly high number of homeless including 2 intoxicated people hanging out on the doorstep when we drove in (11pm). The unit is at the end of a dead end street so we drove around/ called police to assist before getting the kids and our luggage out of the car. Same situation with a guy smoking pot on the doorstep 2 nights later. Managers were aware and explained that while security can be reached quickly via app messaging the guard may be doing security sweeps at other buildings in DT Boston but this building was "home base"; We NEVER saw the security guard. When I told the owners this the suggested I "TRAVEL WITH MY OWN SECURITY DETAIL" (!!- rude!) They they proceeded to tell me that "not sure why someone smoking n a public street is alarming to you. This is a Major United States City" and then proceeded to GOOGLE MY HOMETOWN which he said "I imagine it is a bubble" and told me to "excuse the folks outside that are in public, and who can do as they wish..." RUDE-SNARKY- LACK OF COUTH.
Lots of homeless around Boston during our stay but the location was walkable to all the sites.
