We came to Boston for music festival at Harvard area, but the location was perfect
from either side. Beautiful, calm street with traditional houses, only 10-15 minutes to the T and Whole Food supermarket is also nearby (and that's great when you can cook at Mark's amazing kitchen). The apartment is impressive! Newly renovated, stylish and very cozy. And it has really ALL that you could need during your travel. The room has a bed which I will never forget :-) It was the most comfortable bed I have ever sleep!
Mark is very sweet and thoughtful host. Mark, thank you very much for hosted us! Your home was the great part of Boston's impressions.
P.S. About check-in. That case when the hi-tech house is smarter than you))) But it's easy if you follow Mark's recommendations.
