The apartment was a nice place to stay during our visit to Boston. It was SUPER clean, had everything we need, cute, spacious, and modern. Heather and Brian were very communicative and fantastic hosts. It is walking distance to lots of restaurants, central locations, and the T station - it was definitely convenient!
But with that convenience comes a cost, as the entry to the apartment is down an alley that felt a bit unsafe sometimes (there were often groups of sketch people hanging out right in front of the door to the building, and even people in full fights at times). This is of course nothing in Heather or Brian’s control, just something I would want to be aware of when planning arrival times to the apartment. Noise was also an issue, church bells often were going off very early in the morning and there is noise from the street and the neighbors as well — nothing some earplugs can’t fix, but again, something to just be aware of when packing! If you want to check in early, the earliest is 2 pm and it’s an additional $50 fee.
With all this being said, I would stay at this apartment again. It was really great for a group and again, none of the above issues are in the hosts control. Just something to be aware of and to plan for! Thanks Heather and Brian for a great stay.
