This place was clean (pics are accurate) and just the right size for us three ladies to have a get away weekend. We seldom noticed any noises from upstairs others have mentioned but honestly we spent little time here. We were on the go or we were sleeping so the noise was a non-issue for us. Do your homework to know how to get to the apt. - we flew in, took silver line to the T station and mapped our way clear out to Chiswick Road (Boston College Green Line). When you get off the T at Chiswick, you’ll see a liquor store on the corner. Facing the liquor store, turn to your right and start walking. Take first street to the left and that will get you around to the destination.
The bedroom beds were both comfortable but the 3rd “bed” (living room) is a futon and is kinda on 2 levels when folded out for sleeping. Keep in mind for folks with back issues.
K-cups were available but no decaf. There was a mini fridge but it would have been nice if host would have provided bottled water. Host offered limited paper & plastic supplies – would have appreciated more toilet paper, kleenex, paper plates & cups and plastic silverware.
WiFi was great and believe me when I say that without it you were dead in the water!!!
Keep in mind also– there’s no TV in this unit.
We enjoyed an awesome breakfast all three mornings at a little cafe within 3 blocks called Dolce Vita Cafe.
The one thing to keep in mind is that although this place is close to the T – you are going to be commuting about 45 minutes each way to get to the Freedom Trail, North End, Waterfront area, etc. So we did spend quite a bit of our time just riding the subways.
Our host did offer to let us leave our luggage since our flight back was later in the evening but we didn’t want to come all the way back to get it. We found a “store my luggage” place in the North end for $9.00 – worked perfectly!!
