Hello world!
Two of us (both women in our 50s) stayed at the condo for one week. My daughter (age 25) and a friend stayed for four nights, too.
It was comfortable for four.
The neighborhood is a wonderful place to stay!
We enjoyed the easy walkability to just about every convenience we could imagine.
We were amazed at how quiet it seemed here, at least with regard to outside noise.
There was a very yippy dog (a neighbor's dog, in this same building), and very noisy furnace / pipe noises, but that's to be expected in such an old building.
We had a few challenges with the wireless; we never were able to access the secured wireless, but there was a Linksys strong (unsecured) connection that got us through the week (the connection is very weak and unreliable in one of the bedrooms, but worked fine in the outer rooms).
An eclectic collection of household items was here -- more than enough linens and paper supplies (although no tissues, and that t.p. got rough on the nose after a few days -- and we couldn't find anything less than $4 a box for tissues in the local shops).
Lots to do from here, easy access to quick transportation, amazingly prompt and professional responses from the unit owner.
Given the prices of hotels and other properties in the area, this was a very appreciated option. We could not have afforded to attend the conference without such an option.
The two 25 year-olds enjoyed their stay, too.
I would consider staying here again.

Owner's Response: We haven't had problems previously with the internet. It has worked for renters before this. It is a secured connection and has not presented problems for other renters. We did walk them through the steps to connect. The little lap dog next door does acknowledge us when we walk up the stairs, but we have never heard him at other times. We do not furnish Kleenex, so if renters need those, they need to bring their own. Yes, the older buildings with "character" sometimes come with their own personalities and pipe noises, although no one has complained before about furnace noises or pipe noises. It is a central gas furnace and does shut on and off with the cold weather. We are glad you enjoyed your Boston stay and would stay with us again.
