Hong's entire property was even more beautiful than the photos can describe. The interior is an elegant, a historically true structure with ornate wooden carvings in the moldings and mantles. The gorgeous period wallpaper ushers one's imaginings to high society, large social gatherings.
"Meticulously cared for" might be the best overall description.
As a professional cleaning lady myself, I was VERY impressed (which seldom is the case) with the thorough cleanliness of the rental room, entire building, and even the exterior of the property.
Jeff was very patient and helpful, and demonstrated for me how to use my key card correctly for the main entrance.
The neighborhood is clean and relatively quiet - yet only 0.3 -0.7 miles to many food and shopping services. The oldest steakhouse in Boston (Frank's) is a few blocks away.
We felt safe enough to walk late at night, and encountered a very elderly local couple who also felt safe enough to be out walking at that late hour.
