Adorable studio about 300-400 sq ft with a loft (you have to climb a steep ladder to the loft; not scary, you just have to be able to do it safely). Very clean. We were three people in the studio. The space can comfortably accommodate four people who don't mind not having a wall between them at night (2 in the loft, 2 on the pull out couch). Location is amazing in the south end. Walking distance to Copley Square. Can uber almost anywhere in down town for quite cheap. Laundromat just a few doors down if you need it. Starbucks across the street. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Whole foods about a 15-20 minute walk. We didn't meet Mel, but check in and out was very smooth. AC is a window unit that worked fine. Studio is on the first floor. There are about a dozen stairs to climb to get to the front door; classic charming South End brownstone. I'd stay here again anytime. A great Boston experience. Thanks Mel!
