My parents and I traveled to Boston for the first time on our annual "birthday" vacation. The apartment was absolutely perfect for us. We were near the start of the freedom trail and the capital building, just a short walk to the park street T station, and located pretty much in the best place to be a "tourist." We had such a wonderful experience using the rooftop picnic tables for a late afternoon drink/rest after exploring the city during the day - make sure you head up there at least to get a great picture of the spectacular view! It was much more comfortable for us to have the apartment than a hotel room and it really enhanced our visit. This apartment is perfect for a visit to downtown Boston and I would definitely stay again!
