My husband and I were visiting Boston for our son's college graduation and wanted a more space to spread out than one hotel room with overpriced parking could offer. We were fortunate to find James and Pierre's rental available for the weekend. Their "Garden Apartment" is in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood. On our first night, we walked 15 minutes into town for Thai food and it was such a pleasant walk to Washington St. with interesting houses and a large park along the way. The keyless entry was ideal -- no worrying about having to keep track of an extra set of keys. Our son lived in the next town over (Allston) so the location was ideal for us. But it was also only a 15-20 minute drive into the city, which is very do-able if you want to be downtown on the weekend.
The apartment is spacious, open and modern. Everything was neat, clean and well-kept. Beautiful modern furniture, appliances and artwork throughout. The bed was spectacular -- so incredibly comfortable and plush! We appreciated the chocolate on our pillow, the travel toiletries and the wonderful Nespresso machine. Very nice touches. The bathroom was very large and we felt like we were in a spa with the fluffy white towels and the dual shower heads.
We didn't get to use the secluded little patio since it rained the majority of our visit, but it would have been where I would have parked myself with a morning cup of coffee had the weather cooperated.
All the instructions James and Pierre provided the day before check-in were very helpful. We didn't have a problem with anything since the instructions were so detailed. All of our communication with them was great.
The apartment was very quiet. We only heard an occasional scurrying from a dog running across the floor in the apartment above. This was very brief and didn't bother us; in fact it was the only reminder that there was someone living above us.
We would rent this apartment again in a heartbeat! Thank you James and Pierre for opening your beautiful apartment for us to use on this memorable weekend.
