We loved Alex's place because it was nicely remodeled, clean, roomy, and comfortable. We also loved how close it was to where we wanted to go. We walked to Northeastern University and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. We didn't take the T, instead opted for Lyft for about $15 each way to Quincy Market or to Chinatown (beats driving and parking fees). We stayed Friday through Sunday nights. The neighborhood was quiet on the weekend with occasional siren. We should have moved our car on Monday morning per Alex's House Manual as the City of Boston gave us a $40 ticket for parking without residential permit. Overall our first stay in Boston was great!
