Superb location, off Boston Common and all that has to offer (Frog Pond ice rink, for example, where we spent 3 happy hours; early morning jogs if you’re into that; Xmas lights at this time of year), as well as very close to Cambridge Street (Wholefoods, CVS, and a wine shop are all under 5 mins walk, and took care of all our needs.). Either direction you will find plenty to interest you. We visited the Aquarium (under 1 mile), and ate at the Union Oyster House (half a mile), and took a lovely stroll along Mt Vernon Street with its grand terraces epitomizing this Beacon Hill part of town. Even watched a movie at Loews Cinema just off the Common.
The apartment is very comfortable. Definitely warm (important at this time of year), and well equipped. Hot water is instantaneous and piping. Secure as well. Very comfortable indeed for a couple, and likewise for us with a 5-year old who slept on the sofa bed. Would happily stay here again, and recommend it to others.
