Helen’s studio apartment is well equipped with everything we needed. It is thoughtfully put together with what a traveler may need but not crowded. We did not cook but everything was there if we wanted to. Helen provided pastries and coffee and cereal and fruit each morning. The bed was super comfortable (firm). The bathtub is an old free standing tub with a curtain fully around it,. There were supplies of shampoo, soap etc if needed. Little cupboards and racks to provide room for sundries. It is a short walk to the T (subway) and about a mile of walking to the local restaurants in the neighborhood. So for us it was a good location and a great experience. Helen and Stuart are friendly and helpful. Helen even left us a loaner umbrella in the hall advising us of Boston weather. We needed it.
But I think it should be noted that this unit is in an old house and there are steps to get up to the house from the street and then 3 flights of wood stairs to the unit. That could be difficult for some travelers. It was not a problem for us. We felt right at home and enjoyed our 3 night stay. We would definitely stay there again.
