Location! Location! Location! We enjoyed our stay in Boston, mostly because of our centrally located housing. It was not high end by any regards, but the bed was comfortable, and we felt secure in our surroundings.
The apartment is in a great location to walk to shops, restaurants/bars, and do sightseeing. We never needed a car, or cab service, even the bus to and from the airport was a short walk.(Less than 10 minutes.)
The furniture is not the most comfortable, but the bed made up for that. The apartment was clean, and the water for showers was hot, and there were nice soft towels to dry off. We would definitely stay again.
