Victoria's house is a beautiful house built in 1880. Fully modernized (with air conditioning being added soon), the apartment we used accommodated our family (grandmother, parents, and three kids 23,22,&21 year olds) very comfortably. Plenty of hot water, well-stocked kitchen, two full bathrooms, DVR-enabled Xfinity TV, and very fast Wi-Fi helped to keep everyone happy.
We made use of the subway for getting around. We got the 7-day pass which worked on the subway, busses, water shuttle. It was very easy to get from the airport to Victoria's house: free shuttle to South Station, then the red line subway to Shawmut station one block from her house.
The neighborhood is relatively quiet, but it is still a city residential street, so we found traffic noise a bit louder than we expected. Just something to keep in mind if you're not used to city noise.
Victoria was the perfect host, with clear instructions for checking in, using the apartment, and house rules. I'm confident that future guests will have a wonderful stay!
