The first contact was very sympathetic with detailed instructions where and how to get the key to get in. Nevertheless we weren't able to get in the house, because another guest had taken the key. Although having stayed for two nights we never saw our host and she didn't respond to emails anymore. There were another three guests in the house.
Communications and organization in case of absence have to be worked on. :-)
The room was as described and sufficiently tidy as well as the bathroom.
The place is perfect to start off into Downtown Boston, although the description of the house seems somewhat exaggerated.
