My family and I came in for the marathon and chose Kathe and Lisa's place because of its proximity to the finish line and related events. The apartment and its location exceeded our expectations in every way, and we had a lovely stay in Boston. Our only regret was not having more time to relax and enjoy all that the immediate neighborhood had to offer. Lisa was our host/contact person, and she was so helpful and more than accommodating. I would definitely stay again and recommend this Back Bay apartment to anyone looking to visit Boston and/or run the marathon.
