I've never used Airbnb before, but Boston was completely sold out of hotel rooms so I gave it a shot. Had a great experience with both the space and the host. Larry met me in person at around 11pm to check me in and gave me a tour and all of the particulars. It is a beautiful apartment in one of the best locations in Boston.

Remus, Larry's cat - does require some love and care - but he is a great cat, and surprisingly friendly to strangers.

Street parking is impossible, but there is a garage a couple of blocks away on Charles Street so that was easy also.

Overall - a great experience and really helped me out in a pinch!
