Communication before and during the stay was excellent. Check-in was easily done via a key box next to the door. Although being north of Boston's downtown it is easy to go there with the metro (station only 5 mins. away) and we really enjoyed staying in this neighbourhood. The host helped us to find free parking nearby. The apartment was nice and clean - everything as expected. The master bedroom was really big and offered enough space for several suitcases. Kitchen equipment was good - we especially liked that there was a coffee maker with coffee provided as well as some water in the fridge. The bathroom is quite small and the living room as well in case you travel with four people and require the sofa bed.
All in all we certainly recommend the place for a stay in the Boston area.
