I had a great stay at Tim and Michelle's place.
It was an easy walk to the places I like in Beacon Hill: the library, Victrola (coffee), drinks (Oak), and the light rail station. The basement apartment still gets some natural light, and is newly renovated. Everything in the kitchen worked great, and there is even a new washer and dryer, which I definitely appreciate for longer trips.
Check in/out with the August app could not have been easier, and Tim and Michelle were very quick on responses, welcoming, and helpful.
Planning to stay here if it is available on my next trip up!
