Location! If you can walk a mile (no hills in the city) then historic downtown, harbor, aquarium, Fenway park, fine art museum, Library, Boston Symphony, great restaurants are all within range. Of course, multiple T-stops also nearby.
Certainly room enough for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Clean. All appliances worked well. For sure, some city noise could be disturbing to some - construction nearby seemed to go through the night - we got used to it. Great neighborhood to walk around and admire the brownstone architecture and all the individual embellishments and garden arrangements.
