The Upton is in a great location. We were able to walk around all the great tourist destinations in Boston and then in the evening return to this nice quaint neighborhood. The restaurants were within a few blocks and they had amazing food (Metropolis, Black Lamb, Toro, and B&G Oysters). If you are there on the weekend it is best to make a reservation but if you don't mind sitting at the bar (like we did) you can usually get a spot. The apartment was clean and check in was super easy. We would definitely stay here again.
