We had an excellent stay. The unit fit our needs very well and the location made getting around very easy. We especially appreciated how close the T was.
Great location with easy access to everything you’d want to do in the Boston area. Host is quick to reply and help with anything you need. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Really loved how close it was to public transit and the waterfront. It had a really unique style and we loved the decor. Apartment was very spacious and it had everything we needed for our stay. We would love to stay here again during our next visit! :)
Yes, the kitchen was fully equipped with numbers of appliances and everything we needed to cook/entertain on Christmas. The apartment was clean with beautiful artwork in every room. A welcome and instruction book for how to use/regulate/turn on appliances and entertainment would have been helpful. The landlord was very responsive to our several communications for assistance/direction. The only negative was that we had difficulty regulating the temperature to keep it at a comfortable setting.

This is what I was going to put on the public page do you think it's okay
This guest gave us 5 stars in all categories. She then gave us an overall rating of 4, stating that she couldn't figure out how to work the Nest thermostat that is installed in the apartment. Apparently the heat fluctuated between 67 and 72 and she found that unsatisfactory, despite my efforts to personally walk her through changing the settings. This was the first time that we have experienced this problem. Moving forward we intend to address the problem by providing written instructions regarding the operation of the Nest thermostat.
Casa completa, con todo lo que necesites. A 100 metros del trolley que conecta con la red line. A 300 metros el super, a 200 metros restaurantes ( mexicano, irlandes, americano, italiano) a 350 metros farmacia. Mike (the landlord) was incredible!!! Siempre atento y listo a solucionar todo lo que necesitas
