This is a comfortable, clean, and modern studio apartment, and Nelson and Pauline have added several thoughtful, personal touches that make it a very well equipped unit, offering excellent value. I especially liked that the kitchen was well stocked and that they even had light snacks upon check in. These little things really make the difference between a good experience and a superior one, and this was superior, for sure!
Everything in the unit is new and clean, and you can tell the hosts take great pride in it. The bedding and towels are top quality, too! It is almost like you are really lucky and have a very neat and thoughtful friend, who's letting you use their sweet apartment while you're in Boston!
The location is convenient and felt very safe. The building was also very quiet and well kept. The unit seems well insulated for sound, too. That said it is a ground unit on a city street. If you are a light sleeper, I'd recommend bringing earplugs. Again, I don't think this is anything the owners of the unit can control, and it is not overwhelming. It's just a tip for those folks who might not be used to the city. I assure you this unit is much quieter than any hotel I've stayed at in the area -- and I've stayed in lots.
I intend to stay here every time I visit the Boston area -- hopefully it will be available!
