An oasis of peace and tranquility in Boston
Review Submitted: April 29, 2009
Date of Stay: April 2009
We stayed for a week in this apartment in April to see our Son run the Boston Marathon.
We would normally have chosen to stay in a hotel, but our enquiries seemed to show that all good hotels were either full, or so expensive as to precude a weeks stay.
Our experiences in the past, renting accommodation ,have taught us to lower our expectations as to what is actually provided compared to the advertisment for the property.Not in this case. The apartment far exceeded our expectations in every way.
Lauren had provided easy access on our arrival.On entry, our only possible comment was 'wow'.Over the next 7 days, we were never disapointed in anything.
Lovely, plentiful linen and towels,copious hot water,super, well equipped kitchen.Best of all,a bed that didn't leave us in need of another holiday to get over it!So comfortable.The apartment was spotlessly clean and nice and warm,a boon as Boston was quite cold for the fist few days.Also, It was Lovely and quiet inside.
Boston itself was a delight.We did touristy things,Whale watching was fantastic.Boston Harbour Cruises were excellent.Our advice is to book directly with then, not an agent.
The city itself looked beautiful, and people are friendly and courteous on the whole.
Beware of Joe's American Restaurant,nearby.We had a great Brunch,but their weekday breakfast was an expensive waste of time.Far better,Paramount on Charles St, Beacon Hill,gave a wonderful taste of American breakfast.
Our favourite restaurant was Atlanic Fish Co.on Boylston.
I would recommend Boston and this Apartment to anyone who would like to experience the United States at its best.
We hope to return soon.
