We had a wonderful stay at Greg's apartment. It was well fitted out, warm and comfortable. Being close to everything specially the metro and buses was the icing on the cake generally making the apartment 10 - 15 minutes to the centre of Boston from the closing of the front door with such regular transport options . There are many food options in the immediate neighbourhood with plenty of cheap eats nearby and other option should you wish to eat at home. The added touches of a welcoming bowl of fruit and fresh flowers was a nice as well as basic provisions that were left for our consumption if required. Also there were 2 charlie cards for our use should we needed them but it was simple for us to purchase weekly transport cards 9$16) that covered all transport for our week in Boston.
