Don't miss the street vendors at Haymarket (the country's oldest outdoor market), the shops at Quincy Market (the country's largest indoor food court), and the street performers and nightlife outside Faneuil Hall.
► Back Bay adjoins the Beacon Hill neighborhood, offering scenic brick-lined streets, Victorian architecture, and plenty of opportunities to people-watch and do some upscale shopping on Newbury St touted as the "Rodeo Drive of the East." Nearby Copley Square is home to the Prudential Center and John Hancock Tower, Boston's two tallest skyscrapers.
► Easy access to government, health care, the Financial District, and area colleges, including Harvard, MIT, BU Dental, Suffolk, MGH, and Northeastern.

Summary: I felt like this property made me feel like a Bostonian! Excellent location to everything Boston had to offer! Boston commons 2-minute walk away and transportation on the subway 2.5-minute walk. Restaurants and shops close in either direction you go and so many good eats and brews! History alive around every corner you turned after leaving the studio. Parking is a little difficult around the property, but I added spot hero to my app line up and found parking in a garage called PI alley parking garage, it was great and for a little extra in and out privileges. This was my first time to Boston, and I got to know the city and I would stay here again and again!

Summary: Great location near the Massachusetts State house. Was a short walk to the Park St station which gave access to the red, orange, and green lines!! Property Managers were fantastic, I accidentally left something behind after I checked out and the were great in helping me retrieve the lost item. Stay was clean and a good deal for the price and size.One heads up is that the key pick up is a 15 minute walk away from the actual spot so keep that in mind when planning your arrival! Would definitely stay again!

Summary: Can't beat this price and location combo. The bed is small (Double) but is really comfortable. The building is great but can be noisy, bring a noise maker it drowned out all the noise. We slept like babies in this place.

Summary: This property was in the best location right by the state house and a short walk from central downtown or a T station. We found the check-in process to be straight forward however the key box was a little hard to locate. The apartment itself was exactly as advertised and a perfect space for two people. The bed was mildly uncomfortable however it was definitely doable for a short trip. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and there were coffee filters and coffee for the coffee pot. There are holes of dry wall cut out of the ceiling that are a little off-putting but didn’t affect the quality of our stay.My only true complaint with this property was that we had a leak in the ceiling when it started raining. The hosts were very quick to respond and thankfully the drops stopped after about 20 minutes but I would keep an eye out for that when you’re there. I would stay here again if I were in Boston for a short trip but I would not recommend for a long-term stay.

Summary: The location couldn't be better, just across the street from the state house and a block from Boston Common. The key pickup worked as advertised, but it's a bit of a hassle because the key drop spot is a fairly long walk from the apartment. The unit itself was fine, fairly basic. One slight annoyance - although the kitchen was well equipped, there were no supplies other than liquid dish soap - no coffee or filters, or dishwasher detergent. And very limited glassware. Like with many short term rentals, we found the furniture to be uncomfortable. There were some large holes cut into the drywall ceiling, which was weird. Just a few tweaks and this would be an awesome place.

Summary: The property was clean which was a plus but we didn’t realize the bed was a full size. Also we had to take an Uber to the 711 to get the key which seemed out of the way and inconvenient. Locations as great tho

Summary: I liked the property overall, the only downside of the it was the A/C that was too high and I couldn’t regulate it properly and it wasn’t extra blankets.

Summary: Excellent location. The unit is nicely updated with a new kitchenette. Some things to tweek, some minor, some significant. The key is kept in a KeyCafe in a 7-11 a good walk away from the apartment. We asked for early access and were told it was coming. We were only told of the location and distance at the exact checkin time, after asking, and had to walk a bit to get it before gaining access. That said, the KeyCafe concept works great. Put in a code, a little door opens, voila. Earlier & clear communication would have managed expectations. The sofa seems to be missing back cushions, so when you sit on it, you have to either sit way at the front edge or you're left leaning way back. Also the stools at the bar are narrow, hard, and have a notable front edge, so they are not comfortable for any length of time. Between these two things, there's nowhere to comfortably sit. There was a message that we'd get a WIFI code. There was no response when asked twice. Had to make do from Friday to Monday hot spotting it. Wine glasses & coffee mugs, but no regular cups/glasses. One coffee cup still had coffee stains in it, one wine glass had finger & sipping prints. Some things to add, a clock somewhere easy to see, a box of tissues, and a silverware drawer organizer. Overall a good stay, but some tweeks would make this a 5/5.
