Elena's place redefines the concept of a five-star review. It is *gorgeous* in the way a professionally-decorated apartment is gorgeous. Furthermore, the little grace notes, from half and half in the 'fridge to the fluffy bathrobes in the closet, were delightful. "Oh no! We need to run to CVS to grab q-tips! ...wait, no we don't! Elena thought of this already!" The kitchen was also extremely well-outfitted. A communicative host, she made sure to say "hi" on the first day. Easy walking access to Whole Foods, CVS, the Orange Line on the T, and the 39 Bus (the 3rd-most-frequent bus line in the city) make it an excellent hub for Boston exploration, but also of course, Centre St has all you could want in food and drink, anyway! We 100% recommend staying with Elena (provided that we don't accidentally drum up too much competition for us to be able to book the place again, ourselves!).
