The apartment was as described, and very clean. We had no problem getting in a little early to drop our bags off. The neighborhood seemed friendly but I probably would not walk alone at night. My husband walked to Au Bon Pain (about 10 minutes) every morning for our coffee and snacks. The T is right there also. The only thing I missed was a TV. I just assumed there would be one, my bad. I did not bring an iPad or laptop so I had to watch the Presidential Debate on my iPhone. Overall we had a nice visit.
