Historic Charm, Modern Amenities

We were delighted with the apartment! It was roomy, sparklingly clean, well appointed, and proximate to Harvard, MIT, restaurants and subway lines. It was also well equipped with appliances, furnishings, and toiletries; and the decor was tasteful. Lori was a dream to work with as well. We highly recommend this charming apartment!

Couldn’t have been a better place to stay!

We traveled to Boston with our extended family. There were 6 of us that ranged from 17 to 85. The appointment of rooms, cleanliness, beds, linens, and kitchen supplies were wonderful! Communication was excellent. We will be back!!!
