This is not a good place to stay if you are visiting Boston as a tourist: the traffic is terrible 24-7, making a 6-7 mile trip take over a half hour during non-rush hour. Also, many of the surrounding, narrow city streets have long series of speed-bumps -- making transit slow and bumpy (no place for low-slung cars).Though parking is in the rear, and there is a door to the apartment right there, we had to walk to the front to use the key-pad entry system; owner (David) told us he had no key to the rear entry door.We were surprised and unhappy that the third bedroom was locked off, as VRBO advertises that renters get the entire property.The interior seems newly and nicely renovated. But there was a lot lacking: -inadequate furniture (e.g., no dressers nor shelves in bedrooms); -no shelves in the bathrooms for toiletries and such; -inadequate silverware (e.g., no teaspoons); -no ice trays nor ice-maker;-no room darkening shades for sleeping.-slippery bathtub (dangerous).We were planning to stay three nights, but were unhappy enough that we decided to leave after just two days.
