Location, location, location. The most important detail when buying a home(and picking an airbnb). The location was PERFECT for a sightseeing trip to Boston. 15 minute walk to Back Bay, 15 minute walk to the North End, 5 minue(if that) walk to Boston Commons/Public Gardens/Beacon Hill. The apartment was spotless and was simple, but had everything you need. The hosts were very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend staying with Chris and Kelly!
Recommendations on what to do: obviously you're close to the beginning of the Freedom Trail, which is a must. I did it again this weekend for the 2nd time in a year | Catch a play at the Opera House (we saw the Nutcracker ballet and loved it. The building is ornate and the sets were fantastic) | Eat at some of the nicer restaurants on Commonwealth and Boylston like Abe & Louie's or Buttermilk & Bourbon | Walk to the Museum of Science | Stroll down the Beacon Hill area streets and admire the architecture and character of the cobblestone streets | Barhop Harvard's college bar scene
