Quiet space with relatively easy access to the city in a quaint outer neighborhood of Boston. It is conveniently a 3 minute walk to the commuter rail which takes you straight into downtown Boston in 15-20 minutes. During the week, trains run frequently. On the weekend there is less service on Saturday and no service on Sunday. It is better served with a car and has easy on street parking.
Roslindale village is a charming and less frequented neighborhood with some good restaurants and bars. There is also the Arnold Arboretum which is beautiful to stroll in from springtime to fall.
The apartment is a self-contained unit attached to a single family. It is laid out over two levels. It is a bit dated and quite dark even during daylight hours, however it does have a full kitchen, refrigerator, oven and laundry. The space is small on the 1st floor living level but the 2nd floor bedroom is quite ample with a big walk in closet. The bed is uncomfortably lumpy-- one side is firmer than the other. Heating is unevenly distributed so best if visiting Boston in warmer months. There is also a full AC unit for the bedroom which will come in handy during the hot summer months.
