Architecture, design, location, and hospitality all combined to make our two-week stay in Boston a wonderful experience. We loved the parlour level apartment in this Second Empire styled brick rowhouse, facing a quiet, tree-lined street within easy walking distance of several excellent restaurants, specialty grocery and markets, and shopping in the Back Bay. The living room with its high ornamental ceilings and marble fireplace was a cozy area for watching TV, reading, or napping. The kitchen was well-appointed and perfect for preparing the morning coffee, lunch, and the occasional dinner. Likewise, the bedroom/bathroom suite was well-designed, very comfortable, and offered all the necessary amenities for our stay. Lastly, Stephanie and Alex were gracious hosts, who ensured that our stay was pleasant and enjoyable. We look forward to our return to the Boston South End and another stay in their apartment.
