I stayed at Laura's absolutely beautiful apartment for exactly 2 months during my research visit at Harvard University. I felt at home from the moment I stepped into the apartment on. Laura is an architect and very talented in her profession! The interior design and every detail summed up perfectly to create an awesome living experience for every guest - I am convinced that everyone will feel comfortable in this apartment. Regarding all formalities (accuracy of description, check-in, etc.), I can just say: Laura really is a superhost. Everything worked perfectly and I never had to wait long for a response. Feel free to ask Laura anything, she will do everything to make your stay great and solve every problem within a short time. The cleaners were great and cleaned "Hotel Standard".
The surrounding area is awesome. It is typical Boston, you find some of the best restaurants of the city, and grocery shopping is just a 3 min walk. South End is a great neighbourhood for people who expect a calm stay but also want to enjoy all the cool things the city has to offer. Laura's suggestions were also great - feel free to ask her about good places. My personal suggestion: If you love running in the nature and are ready to drive 20 mins, the Harvard Arnold Arboretum is a beautiful place with a great landscape!
All in all, I can just say that I was very sad to leave the place.
