My wife and I spend every Thanksgiving in Boston, visiting our son. This is the second year we have rented an apartment. This apartment was exactly as advertised and we couldn't have been happier. It was clean, well furnished and in an excellent location. We walked to restaurants and shopping and when we needed to use the Mass Transit, it was only several blocks away. It is our desire to rent this same unit again next year.

This was a clean, tidy appartment that accommodated four of us quite easily with just about enough space if you were organised with luggage. Kitchen was good, bathroom fine although no outside window. It is a lovely street and well located. What would I do to make it better? Add a friendly info book on places to eat, where to catch the bus, how to turn the heating on, use wifi, where to park, how to use the little garden etc. just so that it makes it feel a little more personal and it would just be helpful, especially if you are only there for three days.

Owner response:We're glad you enjoyed your stay! We're so sorry you missed our welcome letter on the desk. It's a two-page, laminated letter with information on restaurants, transportation, instructions for the wifi, etc.

My daughter asked me to cook for her roommates and herself on my visit to Northeastern so I thought I'd check out an apartment rental instead of hotel. Thanks to this apartment I think I'll do vacation rentals more often. The unit was everything it said and more. There was plenty of space to cook a wonderful dinner for four young ladies who had plenty of space to eat, lounge, and listen to music while dinner was being prepared. Close to proximity to everything. Walked all over but bought a Charlie card just for the fun of it ~ which ended up pretty useful during the heavy rain. Recommending to my family when they decide to visit my daughter.

My daughter and I stayed here in August. Very comfortable and well maintained. Excellent location on a quiet residential street in the heart of Back Bay, yet only three blocks from shopping and restaurants. Management is attentive and takes good care of the apartment. I left a couple of books behind by mistake, and they found them and mailed them to me free of charge.

Apt was perfect location for walking and taking public transportation all over Boston. Kitchen was good size, queen bed comfortable and living area was a nice break after viewing Boston sites all day.

The location was on a nice quiet street for a family with 2 adults and 3 teenagers, very easy walk to shops and some good restaurants in Back Bay. A little too far from the North End though. The apartment was clean and well maintained. The bathroom unfortunately was disappointing as it had significant water damage and no fan. The only other issue was the pull out couch which was extremely uncomfortable - almost unusable. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

Owner response:Thank you for your feedback. We have ordered a new, high-quality mattress for the sleep sofa, which should be significantly more comfortable. There is some water damage on the living room ceiling, which we are in the process of repairing, but we didn’t see any damage in the bathroom. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay overall and hope you’ll stay with us again the next time you visit Boston!

My wife and I stayed here in July 2011. The apartment is huge for a couple and would easily sleep plenty more. The kitchen has everything you need and is perfect for a quick breakfast or cooking a family dinner. The best thing about this apt is the location it is perfect. We walked everywhere Newbury St is 5 minutes on foot, the Prudential Centre 10 minutes and Boston Common only 20 minutes. If you don't feel like walking the T stop is not far. We would recommend the apt to our friends without hesitation and would absolutely stay again if we are back in Boston.

Apartment was in great Back Bay location while allowed our active family of 2 adults, 2 children to explore much of Boston on foot. Easy walk to Fenway, MIT, Harvard, Freedom Trail, even frequent visits to North End. Apartment was clean, well appointed, quiet and spacious. On the downsides, the bathroom was *very* small and the pull out bed was very uncomfortable and is in need of replacement.

Very clean and spacious appartment. Fully equiped. Great location. Wireless internet included. Sofa bed ok but if you stay for longer than a week, it is not fully comfortable... The rest is perfect.
