This condo is an amazing location--easy to walk to all the Boston sites. Big city view across to the Christian Scientist Church, Pru etc. For us, it was also near our son's apartment which was an extra bonus. It is much larger than we expected. Plenty of room to spread out. We had family on the sofa sleeper and air mattress with still plenty of space to get around the condo. The Master bedroom is also quite large. Varouj met us on arrival and gave us a great appreciation for the building and area. There is street noise as would be expected in a city setting. Two restaurants within a block were great: Mumbai Spice (next to the lobby) and Ichiban on Westland around the corner. We will definitely come back!
