Can't recommend this place enough: Quiet and comfortable, well-appointed, super-clean yet homey, not at all sterile. It's on the first floor but set back from the sidewalk so it feels private and yet not at all closed-in. The apartment is on a beautiful historic garden street that feels almost like a private enclave, and it's very close to great restaurants, coffee, shopping, etc including a convenience store open late across the street. I've been in Boston many times but this is my first stay in South End and I think it will be "my" neighborhood from now on. Maybe not the best if you absolutely have to be close to the T, but the Silver Line bus and Hubway bike share is right around the corner, and I never waited more than 3 minutes for an Uber. It's a perfect launch pad for sightseeing and a great place to unwind at the end of the day, very quaint and "old world" with rows and rows of 19th century townhouses, brick sidewalks and lots of parks and greenery and not a lot of tourists - prime Boston. Liesl was prompt with answering questions and very friendly, offering to go way beyond to make our trip better.
