The location of the apartment is top notch. In the heart of the north end and easily accessible to transportation to all parts of the Boston. The neighborhood felt safe and was very quiet. The restaurants were excellent and very affordable. My partner and I spent the week of Fourth of July (our first trip to Boston) and our first trip using Airbnb. Our host Jose was very responsive to our needs-the shower head was not very functional-Jose replaced the shower head the next day after notifying him and brought an iron that we had requested-even though I had not expected it. We experienced record hot temps the last part of our visit so I would say the air conditioner was up to the task other than those days where it was over 95 degrees. The only other thing we would have liked was a dresser to store clothes but the closet was good for the hanging stuff.
