Nice place but parking is not clear - Beware
Great area to stay. Centrally located in a safe neighborhood accessible to key local destinations. The place was very clean and checking in and out was very simple. However, ation is terrible. No clear communication at all regarding parking and parking is handled. Clear instructions would be very valuable in this case. You have to use nearby parking garages which are anywhere between five and 10 minute walks. Which is fine, as long as that is disclosed. Nowhere either in the fine print or in the print, does it state that. The only thing it states in the parking section is That it is “street parking - paid”. Very unclear in fact it’s pretty obvious that they didn’t give any further instructions on parking. That is all it says. When this was brought to the attention of the local staff, they lacked any compassion and simply stated “it was in the disclaimers in the listing” (I.e. fine print). We’re now stuck with a $60 parking ticket.

The location was great, there were so many shops and restaurants in walking distance! Would definitely recommend this place to a friend. The stay was charming, clean, convenient to get in/out, and had everything we needed for a short stay in Boston.

Lots to say and enjoy about the location. Communication is a little challenging. Tv did not work and was almost 24 hours before someone at the property attempted to address. The app is also not my favorite . But that’s the only negative if that is even negative. Really like the place it’s Comfortable, great location, perfect for a long weekend couples trip. Would recommend!

It smelt like sewage really bad. We did not feel clean at all and the room was small and lacked amenities. Overall would not return and were upset with the quality of our stay for the price we paid. The sewage issue needs to be taken care of asap. The one positive is the location. Excellent location for walking. Parking is difficult but there are plenty of nearby garages if you’re willing to pay!

This property charged be a steep fee for “evidence of smoking”. Neither my husband nor I are smokers, not to mention the fact I am 20 weeks pregnant and was traveling with a 1 year old. When I asked to see the evidence they said the matter was not up for debate. They have not returned any of communications but quickly charged my card.

We had a fantastic stay here. The bed was super comfortable and the room was very nice. We also appreciated the library and outdoor space. The location is fantastic - on a quieter road right next to loads of Back Bay shops and restaurants. We will certainly be staying here again next time we’re in Boston!

Great location! Nice property in a fantastic area, but my room on the first floor had an unpleasant, musty smell and dust in the corners of the ceiling that made it feel not so clean. I would probably not stay here again unless there were no other nearby options or the price was much lower.
