My friend and I were disappointed. The pictures look nothing like the ones shown in the listing and it’s dirty. I wish I could share photos with all of you but just to summarize there was hair in the shower, bugs (house centipedes), dust/dirt everywhere and food crumbs in the bedroom. My friend and I both slept on the couch for our entire stay. They clean the toilet, vacuum and change the sheets on the bed (I hope) - that's it. Not only is the place gross, but it’s a fire hazard with exposed wires on a broken lamp, hanging extension cords and burnt out electrical sockets. Oh, and guess what? Our last night we woke up at 1 a.m. to a mouse stuck in a sticky trap in the living room. There was also a dead mouse on the same trap, which we would not have discovered if we hadn’t heard the living mouse because the host had boxes and bags blocking the traps from sight.
It’s sad really, because the place has a lot of potential with a great location, a big TV and a nice host!! Although Nick is a nice guy, we did not feel comfortable reaching out to him with these issues after reading his defensive responses on previous airbnb reviews. We also believed that these issues couldn’t be fixed within the time of our stay.
Boston’s cool, get the chowdah.
