​This AirBnB was our first ever experience with this type of lodging. Simon's property is perfectly located on the outskirts of the city, but conveniently located just a short walk from the Boston T Green B/C lines. Given its location in a fairly dense area​ of apartment buildings​, there was a bit of noise at night, but this should be expected. The location is not rural by any means​ and 24/7 quiet isn't realistic.​ Having said that, the neighborhood is safe with a mix of students and professionals. We never felt any concern for our safety. The streets are chock full of cars on both sides of the street, so there is no parking. ​And, if there were, I challenge anyone to parallel park in Boston. lol​​​
The rental unit is perfectly appointed and absolutely spotless. It is in mint condition. The kitchen and living room are spacious and inviting with up to date sofas and appliances. The shared bathroom was fine. We were a little worried​​ about this at first as we've never done this before, but it worked out well. Our bedroom had two twin beds. The room was spacious and clean and matched the photos and description. A washing machine and dryer rounded out the excellent accommodations​. A meal could be taken in the living room.​​​
All of the ​keypad ​locks were brand new and there are motion activated lights outside when arriving at night.
Simon was a very responsive host. When booking the reservation we had some questions. He responded within 30 seconds to a few minutes. Couldn't ask for more in that regard. Absolutely outstanding! We highly recommend this location.
