Alicia's studio apartment is as promised from her description and previous reviews by guests. The location is fantastic and is going to be cheaper and a little more space than any hotel in the area if you are there for business at the convention. Noise and light from the shades are bothersome as other guests have mentioned, but not enough to detract from the fantastic location in Back Bay. I'm a light sleeper and it didn't bother me too much. The biggest issues are lack of extra towels (only two for two guests for 5 nights) and we were given minimal notice that management would be coming in the property when we were not nearby and had left valuables out. It was frustrating since we weren't given notice and the reason was to place new purchases, but it was our last night of the stay. These are all minimal issues given the overall cleanliness (found some crumbs on the kitchen floor), location, and responsiveness of Alicia.
