Shabby Chic is the best descriptor. Location is right off Charles Street near MGH. and within easy walk to Red Line or Blue Line T , the Esplanade, or Boston Common. This is an adequate place and was clean but it is important to understand that this is Beacon Hill and to know what that means. Because this is a basement apartment the entry is dark, low ceilinged, has narrow stairs, and takes maneuvering. This can't be altered by City code. If you have any walking disability or balance problems this might be a concern. Also bring a flashlight as there is no lighting at the entry door and it is very dark at night. The bathroom is also very low ceilinged so if you are very tall this might be an issue. Always ask for extra towels ahead of time as you can't get them after you check in. Know that there is only one exterior door and the windows are barred. There is noise at night and in the morning from the apartment upstairs and early in the AM with garbage trucks. This is Beacon Hill, again, and there are rats in the street especially on trash day. The AirBNB owners can't do much about that. Parking simply can't be done on this street so be sure to find parking elsewhere- it may be possible to park at the end of the block for 5 minutes to unload or load the car but don't leave the car there for more than 5 minutes. Parking on the street is only for residents...towed or very expensive ticketing will happen to you if you park here. If you are a patient at MGH, you can call MGH for long term parking inexpensively in the MGH parking garages but it takes arranging and is prepaid only. While the listing says that this is contracted with hospitals, MGH has no record of that that we could identify during our stay so may be contracted with other facilities. The listing also says 10% off the nightly rate if staying for medical reasons- we had to ask for this discount and received less than 10%. This place served our needs but will consider a hotel next time since the hospital rate will be about the same and will probably work out just fine.
