My wife, and our two year old son just visited Boston and stayed at Xerxes's place. We absolutely loved it. The location is very conveniently located with easy access to Boston Common including it's carousel, and playground. We also were very pleased to discover one of the cutest children's playground, Myrtle Street Playground, complete with dozens of ridable toys. The pizza place on the corner ended up with a fair amount of our business simply due to its good taste and convenience.
Our only hiccup was that we accidentally went toTemple Place at first where there also was a Red door at the same address and a masterlock lockbox -- what are the chances! While that was completely our fault, Xerxes, helped us realize our mistake and point us in the right direction.
Xerxes was very prompt on the phone and via text, and even one-nighted a Pack-N-Play for our son to sleep in when he learned that there wasn't already one available.
If I had to complain about anything it would simply be going up and down the one set of stairs with the stroller. However, I really expect that to be the case in most big cities.
Overall, we would definitely choose Xerxes's place again should we find ourselves in Boston again. Thanks so much for helping to make our stay awesome!
