Val's place was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood was cute and quiet. The location is perfect!! We walked almost everywhere due to the central location. The T stop is just a few minutes away in case your destination is too far to walk to. There are restaurants nearby to choose from, as well as Whole Foods Market if you want to buy groceries during your stay. It was nice to have the option to do laundry in the building during our stay. Overall, we highly recommend Val's place, and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
