Great apartment in the heart of historic Boston, available July 1, 2014

Fully furnished, one bedroom apartment available from July 1 through September 30, 2014 while I am away in France.
Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, in the historic South End district of Boston, the apartment has very tall ceilings, lots of light, hardwood floors throughout, and is tastefully furnished.
It has a living room, a dining alcove, a spacious bedroom that opens onto a large deck, with table and chairs as well as many plants and flowers. The kitchen has new appliances and comes with a dishwasher, microwave oven, toaster, electric coffee machine, etc.. The bathroom is a full bath (bathtub with shower) and has a washer and dryer.
The apartment comes with all necessary linens, towels, sheets, and cutlery, as well as two window air-conditioners (one in the living room, one in the bedroom).
Superb, central location: close to three subway stops and many bus lines. Within close walking distance to many cultural venues (theaters, Symphony Hall, etc..). Many stores, cafes and restaurants just steps away.
Extremely convenient to many universities, hospitals and medical schools in the area, and less then a 5 mns walk to the Amtrak train station (serving several commuter rails, Providence, New Haven, New York City and beyond).
The rent ($1,600 a month) has been reduced in exchange for taking care of a small, sweet cat. It includes DSL and wi-fi. Electricity is extra.
More pictures and information as well as feedback from previous tenants available on request.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions. Thank you very much! Merci!

My husband and I loved this apartment. The owners were pleasant, easy to deal with and very helpful. The apartment is as described and I have already recommended it to friends. I would certainly stay again. Excellent Sharon 1/24/2014 12:36:00 PM
No doubt that Chatelet is the indisputable transportation hub of Paris. But in second place you'll find Montparnasse – which is where this apartment is located. That is one of its best features – and there are many others. The photos provided in the ad are accurate – when the sun shines the living room really is that bright. I stayed there for two months during the fall of 2011 end enjoyed it immensely. The kitchen is well supplied, the television-internet-phone services function as they should, and the bed is comfortable. The apartment is perfect for a single person or a couple. The bakery just across the street is excellent – to the extent that I was always disappointed to have to go elsewhere on the weekday it was closed. Neighbourhood shopping and the great number of local restaurants are both hard to beat. You can walk to the post office and to half a dozen cinemas. Overall, I highly recommend this apartment and would be happy to stay there again. As well, the owners are very pleasant to deal with.

Gilberte and Francoise were fabulous to deal with - very friendly and helpful, great English. The apartment is in a charming quartier which is vibrant and busy - great transport and shopping nearby and good restaurants as well as cinema. The apartment itself was lovely - small but attractive and very clean and comfortable. Great experience all round. Excellent Nicky Perkins 11/14/2012 10:44:00 PM
Gilberte's apartment was delightful. We loved being nearby so many cafe's and restaurants, close enough to walk into the centre of Paris, strolling through Jardin du Luxembourg or the myriad delightful streets. The apartment was light and lovely with the opening windows one level up from the street, with views of a patisserie and other apartments. I'm glad to see the apartment building has been renovated since our visit.

Gilberte was a pleasure to deal with. All transactions and access to the apartment went smoothly. My wife and I look forward to returning to 20 Rue d'Odessa, hopefully within the next year or two.

Excellent location! Montparnasse is hip and exciting, but not touristy. It's also withing walking distance to all the main sites in Paris. The apt. is reasonably spacious and has two large windows for lots of light -- plus, it's directly across from a bakery selling the best baguettes I have ever tasted. Gilberte and Francois are ideal renters: they are friendly, responsive and work hard to solve any problems you may have. Highly recommended. Excellent Michelle Faubert 6/27/2010 9:38:00 AM
