I can't thank Alex enough for being so quick to respond to my messages. I know there was a bit of stress about parking when we were coming into Boston at 10pm at night, but it all worked out. The apartment is so homey, it made us feel relaxed an comfortable in a big metropolis. The apartment was in the perfect location for us. We were in Boston for the NCAA Division 3 Indoor National Championship Track Meet. It was a 5 minute walk to the facility so we did not have to worry about parking. We basically walked most every where and then took a couple Ubers if it was a longer distance. Being from a small rural town in WI, we are not sure about working the mass transit, nor did we have time to experiment. The trains and buses are within a 5 minute walk, so if you needed to use it, it was easy to get to. Again, the apartment is very cozy and makes you feel at home away from home.
There a few restaurants within walking distance, mostly breakfast/lunch. Look at trip advisor because those places are worth a try.
Alex is a wonderful host and is willing to answer any questions you have. He made checking in and checking out a breeze.
If we do come back to Boston I will work my schedule around being able to stay in the apartment again. It was a great trip!!!
