We enjoyed our stay at the Christopher but it would be nice to have a temperature control in our room. It got warm in the room.

We liked our stay in The Christopher very much. Great roofterras! Perfect shower! There could have been more cerialbars or such; we stayed for 5 nights. A large fridge like that is very loud. The airco system on the roof made a loud and constant humming noise....My friend didn't notice...but i did unfortunately.

Before we left home, I e-mailed Sara who took my initial reservation pertaining to the final charge on my credit card and B&B.com gift card I had that I wanted applied to my account. When I didn’t receive a reply I called twice, both times a woman transferred me to a voice mail without ever asking why I was calling. When we finally arrived in Boston, I called for ideas on the transportation from Logan airport and explained to the gentleman who took my call about the gift cards. He informed me that Sara had left at least a week before our arrival. When I questioned why I wasn’t told he couldn’t give me a reason, but after much conversation he finally agreed to take the numbers from the gift cert. and apply the $150 refund to my credit card. I would not consider this to be a B&B when we received one initial basket with 1 coffee, 2 instant oatmeal’s, 2 tea bags, 2 bottles of water and 2 prepackaged dried fruits Also, it looked like there was work being done in the unit and someone forgot to finish the closet and clean up, there was white plaster dust all though the unit. We had no where to hang our clothes during the weekend, which was a bit upsetting since we had a dinner to attend on Saturday night. Also, there was no curtain on the window, it had a broken slat that we attempted to cover with a towel and this made it very difficult to sleep after 5:00 am. We attahed photos. The location was great but the directions in binder in the room to the closest metro stop took us pretty far out of our way the first day. We finally discovered how close the Pru building was and used that for the remainder of our stay. Since this our first stay and experience in Boston, would I stay there again or recommend it? Most likely not.

this place was great and affordable for a small group to share. the only thing...it was missing a few key amenities. linens for the sofa bed, coffee filters, extra blankets & etc. Also, the fireplace didn't work. Other than that it is centrally located next to a lot of great restuarants and close to newbury street.

On the positive side the bed was comfy, the location was really good and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately we choose this B&B over another because of the fireplace.... which didn't show up in our unit (#2). We DID have the patio which (in December) had a slick footing of ice as you stepped out to it. The breakfast consisted of 1 envelope of instant oatmeal, 1 granola bar, 2 tiny biscotti, 1 small box of raisins, 2 - 1/2 pints of water and 5 lindt chocolates for 2 adults/2 days. I didn't expect a gourmet meal but I was expecting more than snacks. The coffee was good however there were no coffee filters, we made do with paper towels. The coffee was in a premeasured packet for 16 cups even though it was a 4 cup pot (no coffee scoop). We discovered the first night that we wouldn't be cold as the heat ran ALL night without turning off. The noise didn't keep us up but the suffocatingly oppressive heat did, we had to open the window, I don't know what we would have done with a fireplace if we had one. But the worst part was that a week before our arrival I could not contact the place by phone or email to get our access code to get into the building and room. Finally I got a human on the phone (1 hr before I jumped in the car to go to Boston) and was told it was sent to me.... it wasn't, I searched my emails.

The Christopher was a great place to stay. The rooms were clean and the pictures on website were accurate. If you're looking for a relaxing "appartment" like setting, you've found the right spot! I'd recommend you stock the fridge with food and drinks as there aren't many eateries in the immediate area. Kick back, put on a fire, and enjoy being "at home" in Boston.
