If you are going to Boston then Beacon Hill is the place to stay, and this studio apartment is perfect for it. It was located on a very charming street in Beacon Hill and was a very close walking distance to much of the historical sights. It took us about twenty minutes to walk from the room to the North End of Boston. It is also right near the major subway which can get you wherever you need to go. While the room was a studio, it felt spacious and provided you with everything you needed for a few days in Boston. We didn't stay in the room much, it was just really a place to sleep. As other reviews stated, there is construction across the street. During the week it started between 7-8 and I didn't really hear anything on the weekends. If you plan on getting up early to sight see then this shouldn't be an issue. The host also graciously provided ear plugs in case you needed them. The apartment itself can get kind of noisy since people are coming and going and the walls are rather thin. These smalls things didn't stop me from giving this unit a five start rating as these items are clearly communicated in other guests posts. The value you get here compared to staying at hotels in the area is great. I would recommend this listing to anyone.
