This was a great apartment to stay in for a visit to Boston. It's in a great neighborhood and the area is beautiful. The apartment itself was very clean and cute! It had everything we needed and was comfortable. Lisa was so nice to have provided some toiletries and snacks. It was fun to stay in a residential area and get the feel for living like a local. There were many restaurants and shops nearby but you will have to do some walking. It was a little further out than we expected. But the walks are pleasant because the city is so beautiful. This is a private apartment but it's in a brownstone so there is a shared entrance. There was some noise from the other rooms but it didn't bother us. Lisa was extremely helpful and was a great hostess. Any issues we had she took care of right away. She was readily available with any questions we had and offered advice on things to do. She was very flexible with checking and out. We had a late flight but check out was at 11am. She allowed us to leave our bags and come back at the end of the day and retrieve them. We thought that was very nice of her!!
