The great: Blazing fast wifi. I'm a software engineer and was working remotely. Speedtest showed me 450.2 MB up and 13.7 MB down. This was plenty for me to write code and do some VCs. Extremely clean. Jessica, the host, was super responsive to any questions. It was great to have a washer/dryer. The location was ~5 minutes to the Spaulding entrance of the blue line. Lots of food and drink options also a 5 minute walk away. Thoughtful amenities provided like a few snacks, water bottles, and essentials in the fridge.
A few things to know (not necessarily downsides, depends on what you're looking for):
- As another reviewer noted, the blinds don't block much light so the early morning sun shines on your face. But it was kind of fun to wake up with the sun.
- The windows are right up to the sidewalk+street, so anyone driving or walking past can look into the apartment if you have the blinds open.
- The fridge is pretty loud and since it's a studio you can't just shut the door on it. I got used to it after a night.
- I think this is covid related, but upstairs does some kind of exercise form 5-6 PM. But they're pretty quiet otherwise.
Overall a great experience.
