The apartment had a lot going for it, but it was much more like a hotel than expected. From the pics and description, I had a feeling this was not someone's apartment that they were renting out, but I was still startled at just how much of a hotel room it was. The whole building appears to have been bought out by a company, near as I can tell, and from what I saw and heard while staying, I think the whole building is run as a hotel, not the typical Airbnb listing I'm used to, which was a bummer. A big part of why I love staying in Airbnbs is that you feel like you actually live there--like you're stepping into someone else's life, in their home, on their street, for a few days. This felt much more like staying in a standard hotel room where no one lives. That said, if that's something you're fine with, it had a lot of good things going for it. Here are the plusses and minuses of this listing: PLUSSES: The location is fantastic. I didn't even bother with the the T as I could walk to just about everything I wanted in 10-20 mins. It's a very safe area and I didn't bat an eye at walking home from the theatre alone late at night. The street is quaint and quiet and the building is old and has character. The rooms, however, have been modified into hotel rooms, as mentioned above. Which, there are some plusses to hotel rooms, if you're not too picky about having a true Airbnb experience. The apartment was very clean and outfitted as a nice hotel room would be. Having the bathroom across the hall wasn't a big deal at all. It was a bit annoying having to enter the code to the bathroom, then the code to your room each time, but not a huge imposition. I never saw anyone in the hallway, so it wasn't awkward at all. The bathroom was very nice, clean, and had basic amenities. The room AC worked very well and had a remote, so that was lovely as it was hot and muggy the whole time I was there. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette got the job done. The host was very prompt and quick to reply to any questions. The instructions for getting into the building were clear and simple and made for each check-in and check-out. The keyless entry was wonderfully handy. MINUSES: The kitchenette is not a full kitchen, which for someone with dietary restrictions, was a bit tough, but i knew that going in. I do prefer to have a full kitchen, which again, is more in line with a true Airbnb experience. The room was tiny, but for Boston, I can't say I was surprised. It was smaller than I expected though. If I had been staying with someone, we'd have been crowding each other immediately (I was going to go with...
