This location is much much closer to downtown than the map shows. From the apartment you can be downtown in 10-15 minutes by the T station at Maverick. The station is only a five minute walk. A train always seemed to be arriving when we came in. The area is very lively. Lots a places to eat within walking distance. We went to Kelley's twice. It was a hike but well worth it. There are like two dozen shopping markets (bodegas) in the area.
The unit itself was a nice size with two full bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. The kids loved the Hammock swing in the living room. The neighborhood was pretty quiet and you'll forget your in an apartment. We never really heard anything outside or in the unit.
It was clean and had a seemless self check in.
The kitchen was very spacious as well. Though we only used it for breakfast. No toaster though.(if that matters Walgreens is a 10 minute walk Away) in short i loved this area so much. I would move there. Don't be nervous seeing how it's close to the airport. We never heard a plane. They don't fly over the unit.
You can also walk to the water and there are a few restaurants and food trucks there. There is also a very trendy restaurant that you can see from the front door.
This location for the price couldn't be beat.
I would stay here again tomorrow.
Boston as a whole was a great place to visit. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. (Really stood out as the week before we were in Nyc)
If you want a HQ for a Boston trip. This is the place. Jeffries Point East Boston is the best area for convenience and price.
