A nice, clean apartment. The stairs and floors are very creaky, so families with napping babies should being loud white noise, but the location is great and kitchen and living areas are very comfortable. I took our baby for a very early morning walk, and there were lots of runners and dog-walkers out, and we got to scope out playgrounds and restaurants for later--very safe. An easy drive into the touristy parts of Boston. And super close to delicious gourmet donuts at Blackbird!!
