Upon arriving, the place was easy to find. Parking wasn't a problem and the neighborhood seemed safe. The directions the host gave us were very helpful and accurate. The bedroom and bathroom was spacious enough for two people. The main living areas were decorated nicely. This was me and my boyfriends first time using an airbnb and our take away is that next time we would prefer a private floor/apartment. The host wasn't in our way at all. He gave us our space and didn't disturb us. He was helpful when we needed to contact him and also checked up on us the next day to see if we liked Boston.
Some things to be aware of if you stay here. The shower curtain in the bathroom had mold at the bottom and was very discolored. It made taking a shower feel very uncomfortable considering the shower curtain stays in the shower. There was no protective curtain covering the main one which caused mold to grow. It really needed to be replaced. Also the soap dispenser was not filled with soap but water and had green debris all over the top of the dispenser that needed to be cleaned.
The kitchen appeared clean, however there was no soap in the soap dispenser and the sponge looked very used and old.
When we arrived for the first evening there were the owners clothes scattered all over the kitchen and living room floor. This had not been the case when we checked in earlier that day. It made us feel uncomfortable arriving and having to walk around all those clothes to get to our room. Our thinking is he knew he had guests staying there and it was a little unnerving to see that behavior knowing you have guests staying in your home.
We both give this place an ok rating. If you are willing to address the issues with the owner then I think this would be a decent place to stay.
