This was our second time staying at Mikhail's place in the Allston/Brighton neighborhood. The apartment is very comfortable and clean, and is in easy access to the train. An extra bonus is the designated parking spot if you have a car.
Mikhail is highly responsive and also has his dad, Lev, as a back up contact. This proved to be very helpful as the key lockbox was frozen when we arrived, and Lev was very kind and patient in assisting us.
