We went to Boston to watch our daughter run the marathon, and this place was great for our purposes. It was easy to get to the T to travel to viewing spots. The layout allows a lot of privacy with the bedrooms on separate floors, and a great communal space with kitchen, large dining table, large television, and large comfy couch on the top floor. The kitchen is well equipped. Each of the three floors has its own outside deck, and there is a roof deck - it would be great in the summer.
