Varouj's arrangements for handing over the keys and showing us the apartment worked well despite our lack of a working phone. The apartment provided everything we needed and the provision of a few food essentials and a few treats was much appreciated. The location was excellent with easy access to public transport and restaurants, and there was a very good whole foods supermarket next door. If you like classical music the BSO performs in the Symphony Hall across the road. The only drawback for us was that Massachusetts Avenue was being resurfaced during the nights on the dates of our stay, and the noise was significant, though not within Varouj's control!
