This apartment is bigger than the photos show. I love the huge canvas in the LR. Really makes the space. Generally quite quiet for an urban place in a packed neighborhood. Completely equipped kitchen though consumbles are the usual ~random collection of a few things guests have left so if you are staying more than a day or so and want to cook you may want to bring or purchase small quantities of essentials beyond salt and pepper, e.g olive oil, vinegar. Foodies semi-gourmet market is ~6 blocks East on Washington. As long as the weather isn't absolutely abysmal, it is an easy walk to the Mass Ave Orange Line stop or up past Symphony Hall to Boylston St. The neighborhood has a surprising number of good restaurants including Mike's, a classic diner in the next block, open til 3pm, Jaho, good coffee across the street and Orinoco, super Venezuelan 2 blocks away on Shawmut. An enjoyable week.
