The location was just right for us. We stayed 3 nights and crammed in a lot of sightseeing. We ubered to our place from the airport which was perfect because we were dropped off at the door. Close to our area we ate at Loco Taqueria which was perfect for our first night as we got in around 6ish.( a little expensive, but fun bar atmosphere and food and drinks were good and within walking distance) We walked to the beach, visited Sam Adams Brewery ( So fun!) (took a Lyft ride there) , went to the Freedom Trail Tour in the Boston Commons (took the Red Line), went to a Boston Red Sox game ( took a Lyft to get there and back ) Royals lost darn it..., visited Harvard (took the Subway Red Line to the Green Line-thank goodness our young adult kids knew how to do all this! But it was easy to figure out)- Visited the Seaport area and ate out one evening there. Our flight didn't take off until 7pm and check out was at 11 am so we found that you could check your bags in for $6 a bag at a BAGBNB. They have locations all over Boston which allowed us to sight see until the very last minute then took the Subway to the airport.
This is the site for the Subway and how to use it and the cost.

Liquor stores are very close by. A big grocery store is not close by that we found, but there is CVS or a 7-eleven for breakfast food. We ate out the rest of the time. The house is very cool and has modern things while while still keeping the old house feel. We loved our stay!
