My stay at this Airbnb was different and unique to say the least. I’m a traveling professional that needed a place to stay that was close to my hospital since I left my car back home and I needed it to be affordable.
I came around February and I stayed for about 6 months. The room itself was very nice, clean and comfortable. Their WiFi was fast, the bathrooms were cleaned every week and sometimes twice a week depending on situation but definitely maintained.
My commute from the Airbnb to Boston Medical Center was about 15 mins to 30 mins depending on the day but the bus stop was literally across the street about a 2 minute walk. Very close.
Explore the neighborhood, you’ll find tons of places to eat, do your groceries at and there’s even a little park across the street that you could sit and enjoy the day.
Their shower was absolutely AMAZING! I would take the best showers every day. The water hit the best degrees throughout all seasons.
I have a few cons but honestly it’s all 50/50 based on your experience and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
My cons are the roommates, sometimes you may get a bad roommate or roommates that can make your stay a little annoying. During my stay I had this couple that would argue day and night and cause multiple scenes and would call the cops for the little things such as calling the police at 11:30 at night to complain about a party. If you have selfish/lazy roommates that was also a small issue. Everyone felt like the bathroom was there’s so they filled it up with their personal belongings when the host(s) clearly said no. If that happens let the host(s) know and they’ll take care of it. But this was my first time living with roommates and that was my least favorite part.
Yeah it was a little loud but it was the weekend and by the way they yelled at each other every day made me say I’ll take the loud party over them. And what’s funny is the hosts could/would take care of it if I wanted to but I never took advantage of that because everyone needs a place to stay.
Sometimes the neighborhood can be nosy but it’s the city, I expected that for a city so think about that if you’re a light sleeper. I slept peaceful with no problem. And speaking about sleeping the pillows they provided was a little flat and you’d have to stack just to sleep and wake up without have your back hurting so bring your own if possible that’s what I did and it was instantly gone. (My back issues).
The host(s) will truly go out their way for you which was definitely appreciated.
