We were on our way out to Fenway, so the friendly gentleman at the front desk was kind enough to give us walking directions after he showed us around the guest spaces and our room. Location: 5 : an easy 10 minute walk to Fenway, a 12 minute walk to the Commons. A wealth of eating options, safe secure and walkable in every direction. Room: 5 Our room was impeccable with impressive personal touches and attention to detail. Little things like Fiji water, fresh soft towels (and a black towel for makeup), full array of toiletries, and a welcoming comfortable firm bed. Despite having alllll the things to do in Boston, I was excited to get back to that room and that bed, and I slept like a log. I like a good bed when I'm traveling and I would never stay at another place if I had the option. My favorite aspect was having a separate bedroom and living area (with pull out couch). All things comparable, I've stayed in a thousand hotels, I've traveled Boston thoroughly. This will be my go-to forever. Whether traveling single, as a couple, or with my kids, I will look at 284 first and foremost. Kid-friendly: yes! I would definitely stay here with my kids (ages 9, 11, 13). Safe, fun, welcoming, and wallet-friendly. Special bonus and wow impression: each room is themed after a different artist. I love love love this concept and intrigued me a thousand times over. I ave a personal goal to stay in every room now.

I was in the room the whole time though. I stayed about a week in Nov. It's like a 5-10 min walk from the convention center. There is pastries and bagels and milk for breakfast and other items. There's a fridge you can use. There's like a rule to put your name on your stuff if you use the fridge. I didn't follow the rule. I just bought a beer and put it in there and drank it the next day. No big problem. I think my favorite part was that on the day I was checking out they let me leave my carry on bag and backpack and I could come back for it later. I would definitely stay here again. I got the chance to explore the backbay area of Boston. This places isn't a five star hotel but I think it's five star for the type of place that it is.

I stayed for a week at the CAJ house and consider this a fantastic alternative to a hotel. It seems…read morethey normally rent on a monthly basis, but rentals for a week or more are also accepted, albeit at a slightly higher rate. (Though significantly cheaper than even the most basic hotel in downtown Boston.) The apartment I stayed in was at the 45 Worcester Street location. (They have 2 locations, one at Tremont and one at Worcester.) When I arrived, someone met me at the front door to let me in and hand over keys for the week. At that point, I felt like a resident in a stylishly decorated studio apartment on a gorgeous street of brownstones. There are a few small things I would do to improve the experience. For example, while there is a kitchen, and some dishes, pots, pans, and cutlery, a few key essentials are missing. There's an oven, but not a single dish that can be put into the oven. (A cookie sheet would be nice?) However, it was overall a great experience in a well stocked apartment in close proximity to public transportation. Why not live more like a local? I'd take this over a hotel any day.

Ours was only 3 doors down from the main lobby, so that was easy and convenient. This apartment fell under the Suite category. Our place had a kitchen with large refrigerator, stove with two burners, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher, sink, plates and glasses. All very clean and convenient. The shower was modern and glass enclosed. A few things that could be improved could the the paper goods (paper towels and toilet paper were not the best quality, and the internet was a bit sporadic and slow - speeds sometimes of only about 1-2 Mbps). We loved the comfortable bed. Firm but not too firm and our pillows were all very nice...a total of six of them....making it very good for me since I like to have at least two when I go to sleep. The lady at the check-in lobby was very sweet and nice. Overall a great place to stay. Either for just one night or for extended stays.

I'd recommend it to anyone who needs somewhere to stay in Boston whilst on business or visiting a friend. Highly praised in Time Out's guide to Boston, this Fenway brownstone house did not disappoint at all. The interior is lovingly kept in original 19 century decor and Florence has an amazing collection of dolls as well as a whole room for her shoes and hats. At 80 dollars a night it was a bargain for a truly special room that could well have been in a museum. The bathroom was hip with a great toilet, and it was conveniently close to several T stops. The real gem though was Ms Frances, who was truly charming and had quite amazing stories. She has flags for every guest to show their nationality, and of the 50 or so flags she owns she's been to pretty much every country - including Iran. An introduction to her hat collection is quite a treat too. What a life she has led! She even had a free guest pass for me for the Museum of Fine Arts.

There are few things that you have to know about IGH. First is an Internet. It takes you 1-2 days to download anything that is more then 1.5 GB to your computer. I wouldn't usually complain about that but you have to pay $40 per month for it. Second is food - quiet awful. Also you can't smoke in the room, staff would yell at you even you will go outside to the fire escape. Microwave, kitchen, laundry don't always work well and quality is bad. I understand everything but when you're paying $1680 each month you should probably get a better service.
