Lovely apartment

This property was exactly as advertised. Very clean, lots of extra touches such as hair dryers in both bathrooms, body wash, liquid soap, lots of dishes, cookware (although we didn't use any). Mr and Mrs. Lee were extremely responsive to any issues or questions we had. Also, large washers and dryers (3 sets) in basement as well as laundry detergent and softener (no dryer sheets, but that was not a big deal). Just one small hiccup when we found a fair amount of ants in the kitchen. There was ant spray in the basement and Mr. Lee brought another bottle over in case we needed it. It had been very rainy in Boston and it is ant season so it was a minor inconvenience. They responded so quickly and politely. The beds were comfortable. However there were no dressers with drawers to put clothes into, only the closets, which were not very big. We managed but that would be a nice addition to the rooms. I just wish the home was a bit closer to downtown Boston as we did not have a car and relied on the subway (T) and Uber, but we got a lot of exercise walking!
