This cozy little apartment is a gem for travelers who value convenience and charm. Right across the street from Walgreens and Dollar Tree, it’s super easy to grab last-minute essentials you might’ve forgotten to pack. The neighborhood feels safe and quiet, perfect for a peaceful stay. Walking distance to the train station makes commuting effortless—especially handy if you’re heading to Salem or exploring nearby areas. The host was incredibly kind and attentive, going out of her way to help with any request we had. A few minor quirks: the floors and doors creak quite a bit—expected in an older building, but we were mindful not to disturb neighbors below. The heating didn’t work properly during a few chilly nights, but we reported it right away, and the host confirmed HVAC would be checked after our departure. While air conditioning isn’t common in colder northern climates (and honestly, we wouldn’t expect it here), it did feel a bit snug on the coldest day. Still, that’s just part of the seasonal reality up north. Overall, this place offers a warm, welcoming vibe, great location, and excellent value. We’d definitely stay here again—especially for travelers who appreciate authenticity and local charm over cookie-cutter hotels.
Stayed at the Ramada by Wyndham Boston and was truly impressed! The hotel is spotlessly clean, with a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The room was comfortable and well-maintained—bed was cozy, making for a restful night's sleep. What stood out most was the staff: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. They went the extra mile, even offering assistance with luggage and local recommendations. Location is excellent—just a short subway ride into downtown Boston, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Great value for money and an overall fantastic experience. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Boston.
