Our family came for a conference that one parent and older child would attend while the younger child and the other parent went sightseeing. We like renting apartments to be able to cook and to have room for the children to play. This time, we also wanted a place convenient to public transportation, especially for a 5-year-old. Oh yes, and a parking space since we were driving from out-of-state but wanted to avoid driving in Boston any further than necessary to arrive at our lodging. This apartment was perfect! Following the host's instructions, we requested parking in advance and were able to park a dedicated off-street parking space at the apartment. Our younger child had no trouble walking to the T stop, making it a convenient location, and there was a nice, comfortable space for our younger child and I to hang out when we were too tired to go out sightseeing. The bedrooms are comfortable and beautiful (actually, the whole apartment is tastefully decorated); we especially appreciated the touch of the towels on the bed arranged like elephants and the chocolate treat on top! We also liked the large table -- plenty of room for eating, setting up laptop computers, and playing cards. The kitchen is very well equipped, both in terms of completeness of tools and utensils (for example, there are measuring cups and spoons), and the nice quality of the equipment. The host communicated accurate, plentiful information and in a timely manner. The apartment was as presented in the photos and completely met our expectations and fulfilled our needs and wants.
