What a wonderful location! Great place to stay for a family or friends. No A/C so can get a little bit warm but Maude provides a fan and if you're used to Boston buildings in the summer then you'll be fine! The fact that this place is dog friendly is such a plus- I was able to have my whole family and dog in the city for my graduation, and the South End is a pretty dog friendly neighborhood. If you're in town for a few days I highly recommend Maude's place- it's in a great location and actually has enough room for a lot of people!
