The rooftop retreat is a great space in a very convenient location. The apartment is spacious, clean, quiet and relaxing. The main room is bright and perfect to hang out in. The rooftop area is a great space to cook out, relax, or just catch some rays. Although, the stairs are steep, they are definitely worth the climb. Chandra was very responsive to all our questions and provided lots of useful local info. If you drive, be aware that while there is more than ample parking very close by, much of it is restricted during the weekday. Just make sure you read the signs carefully. The apartment includes everything you need to cook your own meals and there are a number of very good restaurants in the area. Bottom line - the Boston Rooftop Retreat is highly recommended. We would definitely stay there again.
