I'll just start off by saying that this place is amazing!...and now I'll tell you why. Alex is such a nice person, he made sure that we were settling in well and asked us if we needed anything, but other than that left us to our own adventure (which we didn't mind at all.) The apartment is gorgeous! I could go on and on about the kitchen for days. It looks just like the photos. I was so happy that we were able to have a few dinners in while we were on our trip. I was told when we got there that we weren't in the best of neighborhoods...but we didn't have any problems. Everyone we ran into on the street was nice, and I can honestly say I didn't ever feel like I was in danger. My friend even felt comfortable biking around at night. The place is about a 5 minute walk to the nearest T station...be prepared for hills. There is wi-fi and cable, we did have an issue with the wi-fi our first night but I also have comcast and understand how annoying it can be...and as soon as we talked to Alex about it the next morning, he fixed it. I would just like to warn anyone that it is a split level... It's obvious when you look back at the pictures, but I just didn't think about it until we got there. So be aware that the bedroom and bathroom are downstairs (below the ground level floor). If you can manage stairs, this is the place for you! We've already recommended it to family, and if we return to Boston we hope that this place will be open!
