We really enjoyed our stay at Alex's 1 bedroom apt by the T. The apt is clean, quiet, nicely renovated and has lovely architectural details retained to the period of the home. We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed both walking to the train station as well as MFA & Fenway Park (thanks Alex for the Red Sox tickets!). The neighborhood is safe, filled with lovely homes and friendly people. We located a laundromat only 10 minute walk away. We really enjoyed breakfast at Milkweed (one block from the laundromat) and hot sandwiches at Bennett's (by Fenway Park). The transit system is very good so you can get anywhere you need to go easily w/o a car. We took the T to the Amtrak for a day trip to Providence, RI , directly to the airport as well as all over Boston. It was very convenient to be so close to the train station.
Checking in/out was super easy and Alex maintained communication to ensure we had no trouble. I would recommend Alex's safe, clean, lovely & convenient home to adult travelers who prefer to be away from the hustle of downtown Boston.
