My husband and I traveled here from California during spring break while my son was in Boston with his high school orchestra staying at a nearby hotel. The apartment is quite large which makes it feel more like a house than an apartment. The bedrooms are quite large and if you had a family of 4 or more staying, it would not feel crowded at all. Keep in mind there are a lot of stairs, but unless you're going to be going up and down those stairs multiple times a day, it's really not a big deal. We had no problem. The bathroom is nice and big and there is a washer and dryer in the unit just off of the bathroom which is great if you're going to be staying a week or longer and want to do laundry. The view from the glass door in the kitchen is great. Sunrises were beautiful from that vantage point. It snowed one day while we were there and the view of all the snow covered homes and streets was so pretty. Logan airport is only about 6 miles away which is a big plus. We never walked to or from the house so I can't tell you how the neighborhood is safety wise but it seemed nice enough. We were pretty close to everything and there's the South End shopping center less than a mile away with a Target, Panera, Olive Garden and Applebee's restaurant as well. We didn't rent a car while we were there but used Uber and Lyft regularly. If you haven't used Lyft before, their prices are better than Uber and if you're a new customer, they will give you ten $5 off coupons to use on ten different rides which is great. We would definitely stay here again.
