My husband and I stayed here on our first trip to Boston. You can beat the location! Located on Newbury St, you are right above and against miles of shopping and dining. You can easily walk to Boston Common and all other historical spots around the city.
The area is well lit and busy at all hours. There is street noise if this bothers you, but we enjoyed being in such a popular location.
We paid to park with the spots designated by the Air BnB hosts. If they are available, I highly recommend paying for the nights of your stay as parking is a bit of a pain in Boston. They are located just across the street and down a public alley. It’s a tight squeeze if you drive a larger vehicle, but we were able to leave our car parked for our entire trip.
