We recently stayed here during our trip to Boston during our fall break and it was amazing! The location is phenomenal and is within walking distance to a ton of local restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. All of the main attractions (downtown, Harvard square, Fenway park, Boston harbor, north end, etc.) were no more than a 10-15 minute drive, depending on traffic.

The parking garage below the building was a huge bonus as we were assured a secure and close place to park and unload our baby and all of his gear after a long day of exploring the city.

The building seemed secure and well maintained. Traveling with my family always means that safety is a priority but I had no issues with staying here (except I did wonder how frequently they changed the code...?). We made sure to keep the chain lock on for that reason.

The unit itself was beautiful - very simple and clean but practical. The bed was very comfortable, there was plenty of space and storage for our luggage and the bathroom is updated, spacious and well-maintained. The only minor drawback is I could hear everything (cars driving by with loud music, people talking loudly, trucks driving by, etc.) It definitely wouldn't deter me from staying here again and it is nothing the hosts can control but something to consider if you are a light sleeper.

We also had our 20 month old son but because we were only in the unit to sleep (from about 9pm until 10am), it suited us well. If you plan on staying inside more and have a little one, I would opt for a place that wasn't a studio. My son is very agile, coordinated and listens well so he navigated the apartment well but I would be cautious to recommend this listing to someone who has a smaller baby or multiple children.

All in all, Leslie and Ling were responsive and attentive. They responded quickly to a few very minor issues that we had. We didn't get a chance to meet them but I'm sure had they had the opportunity, they would have warmly welcomed us to their unit. Thanks for giving us a clean, safe place to rest during our stay!!!
