We just returned from a brief 2-night trip to Boston to see Billy Joel perform at Fenway. I've been to Boston many times before and have stayed at both hotels (usually brands like Ramada, Days Inn, and sometimes Wyndham) as well as one previous Air BNB stay in Boston. We stayed in Andrea's room, but there are actually several different rooms listed on AirBNB for the same house. My husband and I were both impressed with the location, cleanliness, and overall good value of our stay. The house is a beautiful large older home in an established neighborhood on a lovely tree-lined street. It's only a 10 minute walk to the red line subway and then an easy subway commute downtown. If travelling, it's also a fairly quick drive to the airport from here. I didn't see the upstairs rooms, but I had a quick peek at Barney's master as well once the guests checked out. We had chosen Andrea's room because it had the en-suite bathroom - but Barney's would have been very nice as well (although it would have involved sharing one large bathroom with another room.)

The communication I had with John (owner) in advance was great. He gave detailed information about the location, how to get to the room, and wi-fi -- so we were all set. They have a lovely lady working there cleaning the rooms and common areas, and everything was spic and span. Andrea's room is large and comfortable. Really, anything you could want is there - except for a TV and my husband (who is the one who usually wants that) used his iPad and didn't even miss it. There was an air conditioner, safe, ceiling fan, shampoo and soap. Even robes and slippers. An excellent stay and I hope to be able to stay here again on my next trip to Boston.
