I recently stayed here with two colleagues/ friends while attending a conference in the heart of Boston. The location was great - close to many restaurants and shops in Cambridge, close to the #1 bus that got us into Boston (ca. 12 minute ride), but also quiet enough to sleep at the same time. The directions were easy to follow and the apartment was a hit! It looked great and worked well for me and my friends. We especially enjoyed the great variety of streaming options. Just what we needed to relax after long conference days! I have previously lived in Boston and can honestly say that as a young, female traveler, this neighborhood feels safe to me.
