Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but there were a few disappointments along the way.
Steven was very responsive and even helped us find a place where we could leave our bags while we explored before check-in. It's located in a nice, quiet area of town and a short walk to cool areas like the North End. The apartment looks as described but many things are rickety or falling apart. Nothing that totally impedes your stay but just an overall sense of things needing an upgrade. For instance, to get the door to lock you have to use your body weight to pull the door closed so that the deadbolt lines up.
Another thing to note is that the building is very old, which is charming, but also means that the elevator is very old as well. It is really small and moves slowly. I say that because the apartment is on the top floor so taking the elevator is a must. If you are claustrophobic or generally have a fear of elevators, you'd need to depend on eight flights of stairs or look elsewhere.
Finally, at the top of the stairs just outside the apartment, there was a leak that slowly grew to a massive area of sopping wet carpet that you had to cross over to get to the elevator. Again, not the kind of thing that ruins the experience but it's not enjoyable either. It had started on day one, we alerted Steven, but saw no one come to address It over the 3 nights we were there. Neighbors even put a bowl out to try to help the situation.
Again, overall the experience was good, just not great. We enjoyed our stay despite the issues but I don't think we'd stay there again.
