The studio has a perfect location for exploring downtown Boston, and Beacon Hill is truly charming. The studio is quite basic in terms of design but functional and well-equipped. The check-in process is very smooth and efficient, and the laundry in the building works really well (bring some coins though).
However, there are three points to bear in mind:
1. The studio is located on the 4th floor of a historical walk-up building. This means there is no elevator, and the stairs are quite steep (Dutch-style). Beware of this design feature, especially if you are traveling with heavy/bulky luggage.
2. The window is drafty, which may be a problem for colder months. It was not repaired properly, and the hole was "covered" with a napkin when we arrived.
3. Overall, depending on when you travel to Boston, the value for money may not be the best, as the studio doesn't feel too homey (no surprises, given that the entire building is an apart-hotel) and the only extra service included in the price of stay is garbage removal.
