Val's place has a king-size bed, which is extremely rare for Boston. That's just part of the pluses that her well-appointed Beacon Hill apartment offers. Modern kitchen, modern shower, spacious bedroom, two levels. Maybe my favorite thing was the key-less entry. I'm always nervous about keeping track of the keys on a visit or when I am out exercising. Everything here is electronic and easy to manage. Just an extra bonus in a great, modern place in one of Boston's best neighborhoods.
