Hard to beat the location of this Back Bay basement apartment! I lived in Boston for 4 years and found it very easy to get around from this place. We chose this spot particularly as we have an infant and didn't want to lug a stroller up and down stairs. There is a convenient back door just steps from the apartment door that is very convenient for travelers with children. We were so grateful for the open and quick communication with the rental team. They even offered to provide us a pack and play during our rental!
The apartment itself is lovely. The terrace is a real plus and the bathrooms are great too. Not always the case in Boston to have so much space in an apartment. The amenities are fairly basic, don't expect detergent for the laundry. But you will sleep on the most comfortable home rental beds ever!
It is Boston, so old building do tend to have thin walls and creaky floors You won't hear much noise from the street but you will hear the apartment above and the tenants using the stairwell. Didn't both us but worth mentioning.
If you are looking for space, convenience and comfort- this is the spot!
