Alex is a really awesome host. He greeted me upon arrival and gave me the scoop on what I needed to know about the place and surrounding area. He's a very friendly host and made me feel right at home -- in fact we ended up chatting for well over an hour after arrival.

The unit is most certainly not well represented by the photos -- as is the case with many images on ABNB, they just don't do the place justice! The unit is spacious and well decorated, with a well-apportioned kitchen, should you want to get your Gordon Ramsay on. The bedroom is tucked away downstairs and is quiet. If you're looking to get some good sleep with a minimum of the typical distraction of a city (cars, subways, etc.) you will get that here.

The location is (as everyone says) within short 15m walk to the Longwood/HMS area -- just don't forget your umbrella as I did and suffer a late night rain shower. The subway is less than a 6 minute walk and you can easily connect to the commuter line should you need to get a little further out into the adjacent communities without a car. If you're looking for a late night coffee or tea, try JP Licks -- a straight shot toward HMS. There are other restaurants and bars, but in general the area is pretty quiet and low key after dark.

Overall, this unit is a great value for someone looking to spend some time in Boston@
