Boston Vacation Rental apartment

We just returned from our stay at this apt. The apt was very clean, the amenities were great. There were 4 adults and a 2 year old. There was plenty of space for all of us and provided a great place for our child to run around. The park close by is beautiful (we wished we had ventured out to find it earlier on in our stay!). The deck is very nice and comfortable.

The trolley to the subway is literally behind the house, but wasn't noisy at all. It provided quick transport to the city's subway system. The neighborhood is very quiet. The grocery store is not far and the close restaurants that Mike recommended were wonderful.

The cooking supplies are a little limited, but unless you plan on doing a lot of cooking, and with a little creativity they are adequate. When we did have a need, Mike promptly responded to our request.

One thing to note for parents of small children is that there is no bathtub, only a small shower. If your child is not familiar with showers, it could be a problem. However, the kitchen sink is very large and could potentially have accommodated my 2 year old. The other thing to note is there is no way to baby gate the back stairwell located in the kitchen. We, however, laid a folding chair against it and kept our child away from it (as much as possible). So, it worked fine.

Mike was excellent and gave great information when we had questions. He went above and beyond what we expected.

We would definitely stay at this apt again.

An amazing property in a good neighborhood, just seconds from the metro...

We rented this apartment as our base while in Boston for our son's college graduation. The apartment was well appointed with fluffly bath towels and soft comforters on the beds. There were plenty of extra supplies on hand. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. There was plenty of cupboard space in the kitchen for storing our supplies. Each bedroom had closet space with some hangers and a dresser. There were nighstands with reading lamps in two of the bedrooms. There were plenty of outlets.

It was extremely convenient to the trolley on Red Line of the "T." We utilized public transportation for most excursions into Boston but it was not difficult to drive into town either from the apartment.

It was comfortable for everyone from my 83 year old mother to our 4 year old twin grandsons. The kitchen contained enough cooking utensils, etc. to prepare meals and reduce the expense of the trip. If the weather had been warmer, we would have enjoyed sitting on the deck for meals.

Having the living room in addition to the bedrooms made visiting with the entire family easy. The grandsons enjoyed an occasional video. There was a selection of DVDs and videos for both children and adults in the apartment as well as some games and books.

The neighborhood is attractive with on the street parking. It was quiet, safe and very peaceful. The apartment is within walking distance to some restaurants and a short drive to a local grocery store.

The newly refinished heart pine floors were beautiful.

We would recommend this apartment to any other visitor to the Boston area who is looking for a reasonably priced place to stay.
