Checking in and out was a breeze, and the location was only a short 10 min walk to the T station which was great! Quiet neighborhood and private location. Like some other reviews mention, there is not a living room-type area, but the dining area in the kitchen was a good gathering area for us during meals. We spent most of our time out & about so it wasn't too big of an issue for us. Overall a great stay, comfy beds, clean apartment!
