The studio apartment was perfect for my short stay in Boston. It is very small but comfortable and stocked with everything you'll need. Jonathan made my stay easy and pleasant. I had several questions, which he answered promptly and politely. I did not get a chance to experience the neighborhood during daylight. I had some reservations about walking to the building from the subway station alone late at night, but it was fine. It was about a 10 minute walk. Once I left the station, I didn't see a single soul along the way. There are streetlights the entire way. Be warned, you do need to walk up a pretty steep hill for part of the route.
