This is the perfect place to see all the sights. You can walk to the Boston Garden, the Freedom Trail, North End, Back Bay/ Newbury Street or over to the Omni Parker for a to-go piece of the original Boston cream pie. This is very close walking distance to the Cheers stop for a hop on hop off bus. You can take the subway to Harvard, Chinatown, the Prudential Skywalk, Prudential Mall or to Fenway Park. You literally walk down the street and you are right on Charles st. You are also within walking distance of the Boston Subway and a CVS. The neighborhood and apartment are both very quiet. It is on the third floor. I have a bad knee and the stairs were not too bad. The apartment is decorated nicely and very clean and nicely laid out. Being from Texas we like to use air conditioning. There are wall A C units. One is by the bed in the bedroom and the other is in the kitchen. When using both the apartment was a very nice temperature. The TV is smart and has many apps. There is complimentary Netflix for the TV. In addition to the apartment itself, Lucy and Scott were very accessible and answered all questions quickly and attentively. One final note is that Boston is an expensive town to visit. The price we paid for this place was what I found to be comparable to many hotels. For Beacon Hill, it was an excellent value. I would definitely stay here the next time I come to Boston.
