Nora’s basement apartment is beautifully designed, she (& the previous guests) have clearly taken care of its delicate decor. The apartment opens into the bedroom with a lavish comfy bed and large wooden desk. The room is full equipped with lamps which we used to light the room. (the ceiling lights are harsh)
Then you go into a kitchenette area, I feel its important to say that this apartment is NOT equipped for self catering, however this is listed in the ad for the property. The apartment comes with a small fridge, microwave and minimal work space (you have to wash up in the bathroom sink) . For us it worked just fine as we ate out for lunch and dinner.
Bathroom is fully equipped with shampoo/shower gel and a brilliant powerful shower. The bath is shallow, but fully functioning. Fluffy towels, flannels and super cosy bath robes provided.
The next thing is the dining area, Nora provides all the plates and cutlery you would need. The light are bright and cannot be dimmed which is a shame as there is not enough lamp light in this area to create a mood, should you want to eat/order in that night.
The space is spacious & heats up fast with plenty of sunlight able to stream in on a sunny day!
Nora is very responsive to messages and although we never met Nora or had many issues, I am sure she would have been there in a flash! The area is very lively and buzzing in the day but quiet, almost deathly silent at night which aids a perfect night’s sleep. The area is about 10min walk to a Red T-line (metro) stop and then a further 30min train ride to central Boston.
Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay with Nora again!
