The apartment definitely worked for us. I appreciated the elevator, but if your bedroom is near the maintenance room there is quite a bit of noise. The neighborhood was just as expected based on the photos and reviews. Having off-street parking was fantastic since my friend drove to Boston, but didn't want to have to drive around town. We took an Uber to the areas we wanted to visit and it was great.
It was comfortable for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Diogo was a great host, he quickly answered when I had questions.
