This lovely retreat is in a peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood with lively restaurants and interesting shops only a few blocks away. The train stop is about 5 blocks away, an easy and pleasant walk. The apartment is the third-floor of Susan's house, and while you enter through her house proper, and take one flight of stairs that leads to her second floor, the next flight up has a door that provides privacy. The space has two bedrooms -- I slept in the one with the queen-sized bed (or is it a king?) and that mattress is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on! The bathroom has a shower and a big, claw-foot bathtub. There's also a living room with a tv and many cable channels, and a comfy couch and chairs. The wifi in the space was good. Susan was as available as I needed her to be -- especially when I fumbled at the front door, having problems entering, even after her detailed lesson with the lock. (Some of us are challenged by life's simple things.) She was welcoming and patient, a gentle soul. The apartment is beautifully furnished and Susan has added many thoughtful touches, like a little kitchen area with a fridge, a small freezer with ice, a toaster oven, coffee maker, and coffee, english muffins, butter, and even jam. I will happily stay with Susan again next time I am in Boston.
