Description from the manager

This first floor one bedroom suite features a large, open kitchen, living and dining room, which faces the private alley in back of the building, offering additional privacy and quiet to its guests. There is an original mantle surrounding the ornamental fireplace in the living room and polished hardwood floors run throughout the unit. The bedroom features a queen mattress set, ceiling fan, nightstand, reading lamp and alarm clock. The bathroom is equipped with a tile shower. The kitchen has an eat-in breakfast bar and is fully equipped with pots, pans and cooking utensils, along with dishwasher, oven, range and refrigerator and there is a din...ing table that expands to seat four people. The living room has a 32” flat screen TV with local channels and the sofa pulls out to a queen bed which makes this the perfect unit for two or four people. During the warm months a window air conditioning unit keeps this unit cool.

All units are equipped with wireless internet, irons, ironing boards, hair dryers, coffee makers, tea kettles, toasters, microwaves, linens and towels, as well as a guest book with instructions and recommendations.

All building and unit doors are on secure, code-activated locks so coordinating key pick-up and drop-off is not necessary. The building has a common laundry room that has two sets of washer/dryers which are free of charge to our guests and are available between the hours of 4pm and 11am. There is parking directly behind the building for an additional charge (subject to availability). Parking alternatives are on-street metered spaces or garage parking at 800 Boylston Street.

The Boston Common and Public Garden are a 20 minutes walk, Fenway Park is 15 minutes, public transit is 7 minutes and grocery, dining and shopping are all within a few minutes walk of the property. You can pick up the Freedom Trail very near the Boston Common. MGH, Boston University, and many other hospitals and schools are within 30 minutes walk or a short ride on public transit.

  Major positives but some drawbacks

  Left on 04/18/2013 for a stay in April 2013
  
  

  Great location on a quiet street, short walk to the T, couple of blocks from the river. My rental experience was fluid and problem-free. Easy initial access due to the code lock. But there were negatives, starting with the inability to fully open the apartment's door because the kitchen's trash container is in the way. A small matter but one that symbolizes the unit's weakness: It's cramped. The bathroom is small-closet size. The bedroom has room for a bed flush against the wall and not much else. Other deficiencies: neither bed (the one in the bedroom or the fold-out couch) is comfortable. I think it's fair to say the fold-out is horrible. The place was adequately clean, but the exhaust fan in the bathroom looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the Revolutionary War. Also, the living room window looks out on a parking lot and a nearby high rise apartment building. Despite these criticisms, I am not advising prospective renters to steer clear of this apartment. It's in a secure building located in a nice neighborhood, and it meets one's basic needs. But be prepared for those beds.

  What a amazing location we were a party of five and could not have asked for anything better,we have stayed in many hotels in Boston but this was so relaxing I would highly recommend this town house. It was everything it said on web and then more such a lovely area beside all the shops and restaurants we felt very safe and will defiantly stay there again.

  Great place to stay in Boston

  Left on 05/17/2012 for a stay in April 2012
  
  

  This was a very nice suite to stay in on our recent trip to Boston. The description of the suite is accurate and we knew the location of the apartment well in advance. The location is perfect for marathon weekend in Boston. I ran the marathon, and my husband as well as some family came to Boston to spectate. My husband and I stayed in this suite, while other members of the family rented a larger suite in the same building. We were all very happy with the accommodations. The management was very attentive and kept in good contact with us, both during our stay as well as beforehand.
  
  The neighbourhood this apartment is located in is excellent. The street is quiet, but it is only one to two blocks from the action on Newbury Street and Boylston. For a quieter outing and fantastic scenery, the Charles and the Esplanade is about 2 blocks in the opposite direction. Taking the T was very easy and I felt very safe in this neighbourhood. I have lived in Boston before, so I felt comfortable walking around and taking public transport, however, even if you are not familiar with the city, it can be quite easy to navigate.
  
  The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, pans, and dishes, and whatever we did not have on hand we were able to get from a storage closet that we had access to. The apartment was clean when I arrived and I felt everything provided was in good condition. This is an older building so noise from the hallway does carry through the walls, however, the people in this building are very quiet and noise was never a problem.
  
  One nice thing that was extremely helpful was that I was able to leave my bag in the building when I arrived early. This allowed me to explore downtown a bit without having to worry about dragging my bags along. I used paypal for the deposit return and it was in my account promptly.
