This space is a cute, quirky, comfortable private 2-floor apartment with its own entrance. The location was so perfect for us, we are likely to stay here again. It's walking distance to coffee-shops, convenience stores, downtown, and other neighborhoods we were visiting. Even though it was too early in the spring for the garden to be made up, it was still a treat to have a private outdoor space.
One thing I'd note for others: it is the lower two levels of a 5-story townhouse, which we didn't realize when booking. We never saw the residents in the upper unit while we were there, but like many apartments, you're going to hear extra noises when people are living above you. To be clear, the noise from the neighbors was not disturbing -- and sometimes it was hard to distinguish between them and the sump-pump which, regrettably, had to cycle on and off regularly during the 2-3 days of rain we had -- we were just surprised that having upstairs neighbors wasn't mentioned in the description. It certainly didn't detract from our enjoyment of the home, however, and we definitely recommend it to others visiting Boston. We had every amenity we needed, the furniture was comfortable and clean, and the host was very easy to reach. We had no problems at all checking in or locking up when we left.
