The place was in a good location for close walking access to the subway and the start of the Freedom Trail but just on the edge of Beacon Hill. You need to walk for several minutes to get into the thick of Beacon Hill which is a beautiful historical area. The apartment itself was not as good as the pictures and description indicated. The good: The kitchen is nicely done and user friendly other than the coffee pot which needs replaced. The bathroom has a nice tub which we did not use and nice walk-in shower. The Bad: There is a building renovation going on directly across the street that appears to have just got started and trust me when I say, they start work at 7am sharp! Not sure how long this construction will be going on so I’m sure noise levels will get back to normal eventually. The community washer and dryer are four flights down the stairs in the basement and unfortunately the washing machine has issues. It will not go into a rinse and spin cycle on it’s own. Up and down the stairs multiple times trying a different setting until I finally was able to force it to drain the tub so I could get my cloths out. The hot water appears to be shared by the other three apartments since the shower was always lukewarm to cold other than the last day when we had to get up at 4:30 am for the airport. There were ants in the bathroom looking for water I guess and only two bath towels available. Overall the apartment was fairly clean other than the floors which needed some TLC. Some of the furniture needs replaced, a couple chairs are weathered and torn. I guess some of these issues can be chalked up to living in the city but hopefully most of them will be taken care of for future guests.
