My husband and I used to live in Boston and we were planning to return to visit family and friends for a few days. With two young children, we decided an apartment rental would be better for us than a hotel...giving us more space, kitchen facilities, and bedrooms. Jay's listing fit exactly what we were looking for, and although we had never done an airbnb rental before, decided to give it a shot.

Jay's apartment is in an amazing location-safe, convenient to the river, commons/public garden, west end/gov't center, Charles street shops, and the T. There's plenty of dining near by (from quick and cheap to fancy sit down places) as well as grocery options if you want to eat in.

Limited parking exists, although that is par for the course in Boston and really, no car is needed in the city. If you must have a vehicle, park it in a ramp and leave it.

The apartment was easy to access and Jay was very flexible with check in times. He communicated quickly and answered all questions in a timely manner, even apologizing for a few problems he was trying to address with some lights in the bathroom...none of which affected our stay.

The apartment itself is newly renovated and a functional size for Boston. The galley kitchen was stocked with utensils and dishes, and even has a dishwasher. Despite being across the street from Mass General, we found the apartment to be very quiet. The bathroom shower took a bit to heat up, but the water pressure and temperature were excellent once it did. Beds were comfortable, closets provided extra storage space for luggage and other travel items.

My kids enjoyed the apartment so much, they didn't want to leave and head to the cape on our last day here!
Thanks, Jay, for a fantastic place to stay, at a great price, in a perfect location!
