I rented this apartment for my visiting parents. The location is excellent, very central and walking distance to everything you could need in downtown Boston. It's safe and a good place to stay if you aren't planning to spend too much time hanging out there. The description is accurate, but we were disappointed with a few things. We were charged a $200 cleaning fee, but upon arrival, the apartment was not clean. It was dusty and not kept up very well. There was no toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. So bring your own. One thing to keep in mind for summer guests: there is air conditioning but only a window unit in the living room. It is very hot in the bedroom. If you position the fan just so, it will blow the cool air down the hall, but still it is quite warm. Host Elyne was responsive enough, and provided us with an extra set of keys when asked.
