You cannot beat this location if you are using the Boston subway to get around town. The apartment is just two blocks away from the JFK/UMass stop. A grocery store is also an easy walk. If you have a car, parking is a bit of an issue, because the street is residential permit with a daytime M-F 2 hour limit until 6 pm. You can find other parking, but you need to search a bit. The apartment is nicely decorated, furnished with essentials. The host is responsive and informative, answering questions quickly.
