Our stay at Mechaals place was good. It's a nicely decorated, older apartment. It was nice to have a fully stocked fridge and coffee/breakfast bar. Rare to have that. It was pretty cold during our stay. And we were cold the whole time in the apartment. There are 2 portable heaters. There was also some work being done on the building as it was pretty old, and it woke us up nearly every morning. There wasn't a thermostat. For some reason the AC was still in the bedroom window when it was 30 degrees outside. There was a breeze coming in. I messaged Mechaal on the 2nd day there asking if he/we can take the AC out since it was loud and cold outside and never got a reply. I just took it out of the window myself. Took 10 seconds. The bed is the most uncomfortable bed we've ever slept on in our lives. Terrible sleep. The reviews that say great bed- not sure if you know what a great bed is. The location was alright. Some good restaurants nearby and coffee/convenient type places to get things. If we ever came back, we'd probably choose a place more near the main part of Boston and pay a little extra.
