I stayed in a 4th floor walk-up studio apartment in the South End while attending a conference in Copley Square -- the apartment was comfortable, attractive with a well-equipped kitchenette & private bath. The location is perfect for getting around Back Bay on foot & close to Back Bay train station. There are lovely greenways nearby for walking. The hosts are not on the premises but they sent informative texts/emails in advance & they were available by telephone when I had a question. I will definitely choose Maverick Suites for future trips to Boston.
