Alex's place is perfect for either short or long stays. The studio really is freshly renovated and is very pretty with a touch of antiquity in the old light fixture, bay windows, and marble mantle. There is dishware, mugs, cups, and basic cookware and utensils. The host is open, responsive, and fixes any problem quickly. I highly recommend staying here. It is just a short walk from the Jackson Square T stop (~10 mins) and about 20-25 mins to HMS.
