We LOVE this place. Liesl is an incredible host. We used the apartment as a central hub to explore Cambridge, Beacon Hill, Fenway, Central Boston and North End. We used Uber a lot. No ride was more than 5-10 minutes from this location.
The neighborhood is gorgeous row housing. Each floor of a row house is an apartment. Both sides of this quiet side street are lined with houses. A garden area and fountain separate the two sides of the street. The size of the apartment is huge for cities like Boston, New York or San Francisco, but small for most other parts of the country. The two bedrooms sleep four people comfortably. Five would be pushing it with someone on the couch or on the floor.
While the side street where the row houses sit is quiet, the main street on one end has lots of restaurants and shops. Every morning we were able to walk to different places for breakfast. One night we walked to a take out pizza and picked up a bottle of wine at another store. A convenience store for odds and ends was nearby. Liesl sent us an e-mail of suggested places to eat which we used.
Great location, great host, nice place. Five stars for me!
