Laura’s place allowed us to embrace all the Boston had to offer. I will start with Laura. She initiated communication, was quick to respond, and was on the property during the day to greet guests. She was willing to offer advice on local restaurants. The apartment is charming with its wooden floors and architecture of a time gone by. It had a homey feel after a long day of seeing the sites. Admittedly, we are walkers. Having said that, we found the apartment to be well suited for our needs. We walked to the beginning of the Freedom trail from the apartment. The T and the Logan Express are a 10 minute walk. The bus stop is a 5 minute walk. There is a smorgasbord of restaurants within a 10 minute walk- including a Thai restaurant on the ground floor of Laura’s apartment. Additionally, there is an Italian restaurant, Indian, Ethiopian, and of course a seafood restaurant all within walking distance. There are a couple of pubs along with a coffee shop, and a wine cellar right across the street. We found a neighborhood grocer about two blocks away, and the Whole Foods was just a couple of stops away on the T. The neighborhood has a safe feel. We were comfortable walking after dark. All in all, a wonderful experience.
