This apartment was super-convenient for our long weekend stay. It’s located just across the street from Lechmere station, which is only a few stops from downtown Boston. We visited over a long weekend in late July, and the central air conditioning was wonderful!
PROs:
- proximity to key sights in Boston and Cambridge as well as the T-station
- central air conditioning (a rarity in many older homes in Boston) was effective and very welcome
- surprising size — we had plenty of space for five adults.
CONs:
- the kitchen had plates/glasses/mugs/ utensils, cleaning supplies, paper towels, and coffee filters. No spices, condiments, or any other low volume cooking supplies. On the plus side, you can get groceries delivered.
- the furniture looks modern, but is well-used. One should expect wobbly chair legs and mattresses with valleys — though nothing that affected us greatly.
- we did not have construction noise over the weekend, but it did start on Monday morning at 7:30.
Over all, we would definitely stay again. We received check-in information on the morning of our arrival — so no problems there.
