we loved our stay. the 224 restaurant across the street was very good. it was an easy 15 min walk to the Andrew stop on the red line. we could get to the Boston Common stop in 20- 30 min from the time we walked out the door. we did use Lyft a few times. it is was about a 15-20 min ride that cost around $15. the apartment was clean and looked as advertised. communication with the host was always quick. we loved our stay at Karolina's 3 bed/1 bath
