The apartment is a great size for a small group of friends. We (3 ppl) had the main 2bed apartment as well as a second smaller ensuite room (both upstairs). There was a useful welcome book with local recommendations that we tried out with success. The Alewife metro is very close, only 5 minutes walk away which was great for heading into Boston. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and pantry, you can easily make a full dinner in the apartment. The separate ensuite room also had small appliances and nice touches like hot cocoa and nut bars provided. The basement shared laundry wity dryers was appreciated too. A great option if you are visiting the Boston area with a small family or group but want to keep the costs reasonable.I think this place would be good for visiting students or academics at the local universities too. Thanks for having us!
