My roommate and I were in Boston for three months for work, and needed a place that would fit our budget, but was also was comfortable for such a long stay. Patty & Joe were wonderful in helping us book their place for the summer, and offered great communication before and during our stay.
The apartment is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Everything is very new, which is nice! The configuration of the apartment was a plus...the 2 bedrooms are on opposite sides of the apartment, offering more privacy to both guests. And both bedrooms gave good closet space. The master is a true master, while the other fits a full sized bed, with not much extra room. The bathroom is big, with a nice size tub, and good storage. A few other perks of the apartment...washer/dryer IN UNIT, a wine fridge, cable with xfinity on demand, and my favorite part...the private roof access. With both of us being outdoor junkies, this was the perfect added bonus to our stay. Lay your towel out on the roof & have your coffee under the sun! We also lucked out, and were there over the 4th of July and had a view of the famous Boston fireworks. The roof has no frills, but is a great way to just be outside, while also being litereal steps from the apartment.
We were a 20 minute walk from the theatre district, or a 10 minute car ride. The North End neighborhood is cute, and busy with tourists and locals alike. Some highlights in the neighborhood: Neptune Oyster Bar, Bova's (24-hour) Bakery, Lit Boutique, and Thinking Cup Coffee Shop. There is a great park just 2 minutes away, and a weekly farmer's market also close by. And if you're up for a 20 minute walk, you can make it to the Seaport, Beacon Hill, and many other neighborhoods!
Being away from home for three months can be difficult, but staying in this apartment, I just didn't want to leave! Already missing it! It is perfect for a long-stay or a weekend trip. Patty & Joe will welcome you with open arms, and make sure you have a great visit!
