I stayed at Val and Jay’s place for 4 months during a rotation at MGH, and the location was very convenient for me- the hospital, Whole Foods, CVS, and plenty of restaurants are very close! The red line of the T is also a couple blocks away. The laundry room is located down one flight of stairs in the basement and takes credit cards, which was also convenient. The apartment worked well for me as a single guest, but the second bed is just a futon, so I wouldn’t recommend this apartment for more than two people. I did run into a couple issues with the thermostat that left me without heat in the middle of winter for over a week each time, but the host was responsive and it was mainly issues with the HVAC company that caused delays. The apartment is street level, so there is a bit of street noise, but I hardly found it disturbing. The basement level of the apartment really doesn’t receive any natural light, which I wouldn’t have minded for a short trip (4 months of dark winter is a little rough though). This would be a great place to stay short term, but I found that it was not well-stocked for an extended stay- I had to buy most all cleaning supplies (including a broom) had a single bath towel, and there were minimal dishes. Overall, this is a fine apartment to stay in and it’s in a safe and convenient area of Boston, but I feel as though I ran into too many issues during my stay here for the price I was paying.
