This was a great place to stay while in Boston for a college graduation. Location is walking distance to so many things. Transit station is just down the street, getting you anywhere in Boston. Would love to stay again for even longer and enjoy the neighborhood more.

Great location in Boston
This is a fantastic location in Boston. We were able to walk most everywhere. Blackout curtains, coffee, a fan, and a good shower head were highly appreciated. Just a FYI- there is no “breakfast” despite the listing title. Most everything a couple would need for a few days.

Great Location, spacious one bedroom apartment
This apartment comfortably slept the four of us--two adults, a teen, and a tween. The building is beautiful on a quiet, tree-lined street in Back Bay. We loved exploring the neighborhood (with recommendations from our great host) as well as easily accessing the local T station, which brought us to all the local sites. We put our car in a local garage and did not need it once over the course of our five-day stay. It is worth noting for those with accessibility issues that there are quite a few steps up to the entrance. Overall, this was a great experience for us!
