Janet provided us excellent directions on how to get to the apartment easily and free using public transportation from the airport. We were able to access the apartment via the lockbox and Janet greeted us shortly after. Like others have said, the spiral staircase is a chore to navigate when you have luggage. But once it's up there, you don't have to worry about it again until it's time to check out. It's on the 3rd floor so not for those who can't do the stairs.

The location of the apartment is perfect. We walked everywhere from our homebase in Beacon Hills. We walked the Freedom Trail, The commons, the Gardens, the north end (little Italy) downtown, the Esplanade, the Newbury shopping area, the harbor walk. We easily caught the subway to Harvard and Fenway from very near the apartment.

Within a block of the apartment: Paramount which is famous for breakfast, the line is long but it's kind of a fun must do experience (go on a weekday for shorter line). The pastry shop Tatte, has beautiful sandwiches and light lunch options in addition to out of this world breakfast treats. 75 Chestnut was a lovely upscale dinner and the Upper Crust was fun for a creative slice of pizza on the go. On the days it rained and we didn't want to travel too far, there were plenty of cute little shops to explore on Charles Street, one block away from the apartment

Closet space was surprisingly generous for a studio apartment in a turn of the century building. There is no dresser, so unpack and use the closet and shelving for your clothes. The little kitchen was complete, although we only used the mini fridge. Shower is definitely one at a time. The wifi worked perfectly. The TV was easy to figure out. We were out and about all day every day and only used the room to sleep, so it was perfect for our needs and such an amazing bargain compared to boutique hotels in the area. I would recommend it!
