I was a guest, along with three close friends, in Tim's apt for two night weekend visit to Boston for a show at Fenway.
The location is unbeatable, full stop. It's within walking and biking distance to pretty much everything. We had a lovely run along the Charles, took in the gardens, had an outstanding dim sum dinner in Chinatown and amazing donuts and breakfast sandwiches at Blackbird bakery.
We appreciated the wine, the comfortable beds, nice linens, and ability to adjust temps in each bedroom for sleeping comfort. We also liked having a functional kitchen where we could make and enjoy a meal with items we picked up from a local organic farm to table market (Siena, I think it was called). Parking was tight, but easily accommodated my VW Golf hatchback. And we met the resident bunny that hangs out in the alleyway behind the apt. It was such a delight to see a "city bunny" that seems unphased by our proximity.
You can hear a small amount of street noise and neighbors, but nothing you wouldn't normally hear in the heart of a big city. Bring some earplugs if you're very sensitive to noise.
Check in and check out was easy. Tim was very generous with his recommendations, his response times were fast. When I got home I discovered I 'd lost a precious piece of jewelry at the apt I texted Tim and he connected with his housekeeper who **went through her trash** and found it! It was promptly mailed it to me (I'm from out of state). They both went above and beyond in a circumstance where I had all but resigned myself to the possibility I'd never see my earring again. I can't thank you both enough!
We will definitely choose Tim's apt on future trips to Boston. :)
