The location is outstanding. We were able to walk many places in Boston. It is also very close to the T. This is a newly renovated apartment which is very clean. The soundproofing - especially between floors - is not good. We could hear people above us, but it didn't bother us. The downstairs neighbor is a little sensitive, so you will need to be cognizant of the noise you make. Again, we weren't in the apartment much so it wasn't an issue. We would certainly go back when we are in Boston.
