The apartment is perfect for a stay in Boston. You are right on Newbury st which is a trendy area with high end restaurants and boutiques. There is a subway station right around the corner so you can access public transit easily. It's building is located right next door to cute specialties shop/upscale market where you can anything from snacks, pop, beer or wine. It even has a deli counter. It should be noted that there are 4 levels to this building so be prepared to walk up stairs if you're not on the ground floor. The neighborhood was busy during the day but quieted down in the evening. Also, I can't speak for the other 4th floor units but ours had a skylight so we were never able to get the room dark to sleep in. All in all I would definitely return.
