We easily made it to our apartment from the airport using the subway, called the "T".
We breathed a sigh of relief when we opened the door to our "VRBO" apartment. We found it to be exactly as described - a 500 square foot studio on the second floor of a 3-story walk-up in the Back Bay area of the city. It is small, but fine for the two of us. The kitchen and bath are updated and the place is super clean. I love the hard wood floors and the large almost floor to ceiling windows. A queen sized Murphy bed fills about half of the living space.
The neighborhood is beautiful - old brick buildings, little parks scattered about, lots of green and flowers and within a block or two, cafes and small shops. After settling in, we walked about 10 minutes to a market (stocked up on breakfast foods and coffee) and then to an Italian restaurant. Our trip is off to a good start!
