Lovely Stay!
This is a great place to be based out of. We were able to walk most of the city from this location. Everything one might need is close by. The unit is very nice and worked well for all three of us. It should be noted there is no stove or cooktop, just a microwave. Ingrid was easy to communicate with everything was as advertised.

Perfect Location
The space was perfect for a group of 3 friends to enjoy the city. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is fantastic. Clean and well stocked (minus a pot/pan to cook on the supplied table top single unit stove). The washer and dryer is a BIG plus for vacationing! Thank you for the lovely stay!! Highly recommend!

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.
