We were made to feel welcome and the hosts were fantastic. They were fast and responsive to our questions and were always willing to help. The apartment was ideal for our needs and a real home from home. We felt safe walking around in the Brighton/Brookline area; no concerns whatsoever. The apt is only a short walk to the "T" Tram/subway that takes you everywhere in Boston area. At a cost of around $21, the 7 day pass for the "T" is the excellent value for money. We even took it back to the airport which was no trouble at all. We travelled on to New York for our second week but overall Boston was the best; we did and saw so much. The apt contributed greatly to our enjoyment and our vacation was a holiday of a life time. JM & KM
