Philip and Ann were great communicators and their condo is in an excellent part of the city—close to amazing restaurants, walking distance to Boston Common, and and an easy drive to shopping, Cambridge, etc. There were a few items that were in slight disrepair, like the handle on one of the bedroom doors and the shower door. And it’s really hard to close the back door off of the kitchen so it will latch properly. Felt like we really had to slam it to make it work, which was stressful. But overall we had a great time in Boston and we were able to pack in a lot of tourist-y activities thanks to how centrally located Philip and Ann’s place is. And their instructions about food and the neighborhood were super helpful!
