This apartment is in a very old building (like much of Boston) and appears as such - think peeling, rusting, leaking, creaking, or some combo thereof. The floors / walls are extremely thin and you can expect to hear the full conversations / tv shows of the neighbors around you. While the photos present a very put together and charming place, I would say the reality is considerably more rundown. The "pullout sofa" is actually a lumpy futon and the cleanliness (especially with the bathroom appliances / floor) fell in the "try not to look too closely" category. This appears to be part of a larger Airbnb business so communication was exclusively impersonal, pre-typed masses of text. On the bright side, the check-in / check-out process was very easy and the location was fantastic. If you've been dying to stay in the North End, this is a great location to do it from; but for anyone else I'd recommend just getting a hotel because this stay was very far from what one would expect from a $400/ night home.
