This part of town is commonly named Downtown Crossing as most of the city's Subway's or (T-lines) intersect at Park Street station and Downtown Crossing T stop. The State Street and Park Street stations are within close walking distance. Silver Line service is also available. You can get literally anywhere in the city for a few dollars and a Tpass. The apartment building is located on a downtown street which means it's not super quiet for automobile traffic, and definitely has the lively city feel as foot traffic is sure to be noticeable any time of day, even in the winter. Important to note is that lately there has been a gathering of homeless people during the day and night, right outside the 7/11 around the corner. The high foot-traffic provides them opportunities to pan-handle. Please use your caution, and common sense. We've never had an issue, but for folks visiting from towns and rural settings may find this surprising, even concerning. We've taken measures to make sure our guests are very safe and comfortable during their stays. The building is monitored in shifts and sweeps by our security partner. The Boston Improvement Department does nightly walks of the property and nearby streets. There is also on-site security in the Arch Street building 24/7. Some of the best takeout and restaurants spots may have temporarily closed from Covid, but we're confident the area will be very livable for your stay! Shipping up to Boston? We put together a great guide filled with information for getting around the city and beyond! Downtown Boston is easy to navigate. It’s compact, walkable, has an abundance of taxis, yes they still exist! And Uber's are always a tap away. What makes Boston so accessible is it's public transportation system. Driving downtown can be a challenge with its dated road layout and limited parking options but, it’s the most convenient option for travel outside of Boston Proper. The MBTA is Boston’s public transportation system, and it’s a great way to get around quickly and cheaply. The “T” refers to the subway, which runs throughout Boston, into Cambridge, and into nearby suburbs, providing access to all the attractions located in Boston. Just look for the big "T" in a circle to find a stop. You can also take buses to get all over the city, and the Commuter Rail is an easy way to get to points outside of Boston. You can buy paper “Charlie Tickets” for single or multiple subway rides at vending machines located in most stations. When your ticket runs low, visit a fare vending machine to add value. A single basic fare for the T is $2.75 with a Charlie Ticket, although if you pick up a Charlie Card (a plastic card like a credit card), the fare is lower at $2.25 for one way. You can load the Charlie Card with an amount of your choosing, so it's smart way to explore the city. They're available at almost every T stop, and are free to get. Once on board, hang on! Being one of the oldest public transportation systems in the country, the T is not always the smoothest ride. Parking. or "Paahking" is hard to find, expensive (by most tourists accounts) and is best done in lots or garages for peace of mind. Please check out a website called "Spot Hero" to find the most updated options and prices! In this section we want to stress that in all City apartments, in all neighborhoods, there is the possibility of noise at night. Many times it is completely out of our control. We can provide noise machines and earplugs, but we will not refund any stays that are shortened or cancelled because of noise from construction, traffic, neighbors, or pedestrian noise. Boston is a major American metropolis, it comes with its beauty and it's noise. This will be noted in our house rules, and when bookings are confirmed, it is a contract that you, the guest, is agreeing to. We also want to make it known that the entrance to the building has a bit of a funky access - from the street level you enter into a back stairwell and you head up a flight of stairs to the first floor. From here, you can find the stairwell or elevator to top floors. There is also another entrance through the glass revolving doors at 101 Arch Street and an entrance on the left which will take you to the first floor lobby where you'll easily find the stairs and elevator. Unit is on the 3rd floor.
