This was a very nice, clean, updated apartment in a very dirty, noisy neighborhood. The host was very quick to respond to a couple questions we had, and obviously has done a lot of work on the place. This building is on the bus line, but being unfamiliar with Boston I didn’t realize how far it was to all the places we wanted to go. Be aware that this is at least a 45 minute bus ride to any popular tourist destination. That being said, if this apartment was in a nicer neighborhood we probably would have given 4.5 or 5 stars.
