This unit is close to most major attractions (Freedom Trail, Boston Commons, TD Garden, etc.) and transportation (subway). The unit has basics for cooking and there is a Whole Foods and Target close for groceries. The bathroom and shower are small and there is little counter space. There is little to no parking and I would not suggest this place if you are visiting with a car. We enjoyed using the keypads and not having to worry about carrying a key. It is an older building, so if your neighbors are loud you may be able to hear them. We used the shared washer/dryer in the building and they worked well for us. Overall it was a good stay for the price and we would stay here again.
