Val's spot is a wonderful accomodation if you're visiting downtown Boston, particularly if your trip depends on use of the Red Line (Charles/MGH is an easy 4 min walk). Space was beyond cleanly, and almost had the feel of an upscale hotel suite. The large lower level with the kitchen area would be a huge convenience for an extended stay. Val was prompt, courteous, and communicative during the booking process, and check-in/check-out was very smooth. Would definitely recommend Val as a host to anyone!
