Muny's house was in such a convenient location for easily getting to downtown Boston. You could definitely just hop on the Red Line, which was a few blocks away, but we drove several times and it was only 10-20 minutes downtown (depending on traffic). It is very near the water and we went on a few runs in the mornings we were there. There is also a Walgreens literally across the street and a local market nearby. We had no issues with street parking. The apartment had everything we needed, and was even stocked with some snacks and drinks, which was very thoughtful. We had a lovely weekend!
