This is a great apt! It met all of my 4 top priorities for a stay - air conditioning that we control, elevator or ground floor, hot water for a good shower, and LOCATION.
I didn't put those in order because I need all 4.
The room felt so good after coming back from a hard day of touristing. We have been places where they said they had air, only to find out that they only turn it on when they want to. Not here. It was perfect.
This place is on the ground floor that is so convenient when you have luggage or groceries. No waiting for the elevator that could be slow or crowded. Oh, and you have your own private entrance from the street!
The shower was lovely! Plenty of hot water and a clean, beautiful shower to enjoy it in.
The location is absolutely perfect for touristing. It is 5-10 blocks from any of the top 20 sites of Boston. And only half a block from the subway. We bought a 7 day Charlie pass and made our money back in 4 days. The trains came every 3 minutes so we never waited. There is a great grocery store with take out food , a bakery, a high end deli, produce, meat etc a block and a half away. There is Macy's, Wendys, and Dunkin within a block and a 7-11 on the corner.
Talk about a quiet apt! The walls are a foot thick so other than a random, far away clunk of a door closing we didn't hear anything. Being on the ground floor I was concerned about traffic noise, but the street out front doesn't get much traffic at all. It's a side street. So there wasn't any screeching or honking.
The wifi was faster than ours at home.
Value for money. It isn't the cheapest place I've ever stayed but you get so much for your money. There is even a dressing room/closet off the bedroom. Plenty of room to spread out. There is good door to the bedroom so the person watching tv doesn't disturb the sleeping person.
I think the apt isn't more than 3-5 years old so all the appliances are new and clean. In fact, the whole apt. was very clean.
Enjoy.
