Very clean apartment! Many things such as pots, pans, knives, foil, hair dryer etc. there for you to use. Communication with Mary is VERY easy and she responds quickly. Apartment is on the 3rd floor and you do have to walk up steps in order to get there. Not many steps but just something to note. Older Victorian home but well kept. The security made me feel good as there was an electronic code box on the house entrance door as well as the apartment door. The neighborhood is not what I expected and felt like it could be dangerous at night if out walking around. We used Lyft to get back and forth into the city (about 15-20 minute ride-super convenient) that dropped us right at our door so that was good. As many of the other reviews have said there is no 'living room' area, just a small L shaped entrance area with a few benches. Overall it worked for a long weekend visiting Boston with a few friends!
