This apartment is wonderful - amazingly equipped and the private balcony is the icing on the cake. Location is perfect - residential and extremely safe, very close to the T and JP down-town. Although there is no parking on site, we didn't have any issues to find street parking for the entire duration of the stay. Elena herself is one of the sweetest persons we have met. She made sure our stay was extremely comfortable and kept checking to see if we needed anything. She is a treasure trove of information on things to do in Boston and around. She lent us some of her personal things like beach chairs, umbrella, etc, to support our plans. She even offered to take us to Salem despite her busy schedule. We definitely hope to stay at the same place should we visit Boston again.
