This place has an excellent location. Downtown crossing is where most of the T trains (Boston’s public transit) coincide and therefore you can get pretty much anywhere in the city.
The place is very private, with a keypad to the building and another one to your apartment.
Excellent communication and cleanliness by hosts.
Two things to note- 1) you are in the city, so it’s definitely loud all night long. However, Albert kindly gave us white noise machines and ear plugs. 2)I wouldn’t recommend this place for people that have difficulty walking up steep stairs. There is an elevator, but it’s very small. Without the elevator it’s 4 flights of stairs to reach the apartment on the 4th floor.
