I stumbled upon this listing while looking for an accommodation that was was easy to access (I don't drive); was near many points-of -interest, and had private amenities since I would be staying for nearly a week. Having never traveled to Boston before, I was looking to find a location that satisfied all these needs so I could focus on the exploring the city. Thankfully, this location on Temple Street accomplished all of these.
The location is perfect for people who want quick walking access to the historical North End; the other parts of Beacon Hill; and/or the Boston Commons. For other areas a little farther out, there's two MBTA stations nearby one of which (the Orange Line) will go to points south such as Chinatown or Ruggles. Also of note for the T lines in the area: the Blue line which services the airport has a drop off point at the Government Center station which is only about a quarter mile away from this accommodation.
The check-in process was one of the easiest I have had at an AirBnb. The day prior was I was sent a unique electronic code that operated the front door of the building and the door to my room; no direct interaction or fumbling with keys was necessary! Not having to keep track of a key was very pleasant.
The unit itself was furnished well with appropriate amenities. My room was situated on the third floor and had a view looking over Coolidge Ave and the backside of the church on Bowdoin Street. The room was mostly modern with a hint of its rustic history as was apparent by the fiber optic lamp adjacent to the ancient hearth. The kitchen area provided a sink and two hot plates and the bathroom featured a large shower with river rock as the floor. The bed was large and comfortable. Though I was traveling alone, the bed could've easily supported two people. The desk at the front of the bed wobbled a bit, but was serviceable for a place to rest my laptop and to author notes and postcards.
When I visited, it was during a streak of humid, 90+ degree days. I had not packed my clothes with the expectation that I would be able to wear my shorts at least twice between washes, but given the weather I could not feasibly do that. Thankfully, coin-operated laundry facilities and a soap dispenser were provided in the basement. Please note that there isn't a change machine on the property so quarters to buy laundry products and operate the machines will need to acquired off-site.
My one source of consternation was how well sound traveled throughout the building. The floors creak often and the footfalls of teenagers overhead often reverberated through my room like a powerlifting gym was overhead! Because of this, I would caution light sleepers to pack a few sets of ear plugs.
Overall, I very much liked my stay at Maverick on Temple Street. The location, amenities, ease of access, and the experience as a whole was remarkable. I will be recommending this location for any people I know looking to experience Boston!
