Lucia's apartment is an "English basement" type of apartment, with a private entrance that's down a few steps from the sidewalk, and two large windows in the living area that let in lots of light. The apartment is clean, comfortable and in a convenient location: only a few blocks from Starbucks, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and the walkway along Memorial Drive; and a mile or less from the MIT campus and Massachusetts Avenue, which has a number of shops and restaurants. I would stay there again.
