Stay at 46 Gloucester Street Back Bay: Excellent in all aspects

The accommodation was as described on the website. Two reasonable BDRs, one en-suite and additional full seperate bathroom. The lounge and kitchen combo was well equipped. Microwave, full-size gas cooking, Keureg coffee maker, all cutlery required. Two TVs with all content. Great heating. Good and welcoming decor in the lounge. Jason Post ( host) is very easily contactable. The PDF of instructions is detailed. There is also a list of tourist things to tick off. The location is very convenient to major shopping and eating places and a few metres from the Haynes convention centre. We were 4 family members for three days and did not at all feel cramped. Highly recommended. A bit on pricy side compared to a few other larger apartments on the Homestay site, but We were happy with the overall value.
