This place was exactly as described. The location worked great for us - we walked to the North End frequently, and also walked to Chinatown once, and took the T a couple of times as well. The space is smallish (exactly like is shown in the pictures), but that is to be expected in a city. It was perfect for two. My husband and I especially enjoyed the outdoor patio for morning coffee and evening wine. That was a real bonus that most of the other units don't have. We found the bed and the pillows to be quite comfortable - more comfortable than most hotels we've stayed in.
I always read all of the reviews before booking a place, and many people mentioned the thin walls and being able to hear the neighbors clearly. I was nervous about this and even packed earplugs, but it was a non-issue. Perhaps enough people have read reviews and were trying to be considerate, but we didn't have any problems with this. We barely heard anyone else the whole four day trip and only ran into people in the common area twice.
As other reviewers have mentioned, you only get two towels for your whole stay, but since I knew that going in, it wasn't that big of a deal to me. I was also pleasantly surprised to see three rolls of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, dish soap, etc. as the listing makes it sound very minimalist - one roll of TP only and then you're on your own!
Finding the place was easy, check in and out was a breeze, and it was very clean. All in all, this was a great place to stay in Boston and I highly recommend!
