Location of unit is excellent; very close to everything. The apartment was clean and everything worked. The building is rather tired and so is the apartment but that is to be expected in this part of Boston. It works well for someone who wants a place to stay and will be out and about to enjoy everything that Boston has to offer. Jose was very responsive to phone calls and immediately returned a call when I left a message. Unit is at the top of three steep and narrow flights of stairs; that didn't bother us but may be an issue for others.
