The location of the apartment is excellent, close to lots of restaurants, cafes, Boston Common and public garden, the train etc. It’s in a quiet street but as others have mentioned it is up a hill and the apartment itself is up very steep stairs. This wasn’t a problem for my family but it’s something to consider. The host provided us with an early checkin and late checkout which we appreciated.
We were overall disappointed with the apartment - I saw a mouse under the dining table on our last night, and the apartment is quite run down (paint peeling from the walls, windows are dirty, dinner plates were all chipped or cracked, wine glasses were dirty, old mouse trap in the kitchen cupboard). The floor in the lounge room was dirty and hadn’t been vacuumed properly when we arrived, the stairs going down to the basement and laundry area were filthy.
The host also failed to tell us that when putting out cardboard boxes and recycling to be collected, that this had to be flattened and put in a plastic bag. We got a fine for failing to do this, so be careful when taking out the trash as the instructions provided failed to mention this.
