Overall what you see in the pictures is what you should expect on this listing. This unit is clean and overall average. We didn't communicate with the host over the stay other than upon check in and check out. For those not familiar with this area of Boston, buildings are very close to each other, many streets are one-way only and parking is at a premium almost everywhere so the off street parking is key here. We did not experience any issues with the neighborhood and even though the streets can be busy at times, and the fact this is located close to the Logan airport, neither were too noticeable inside with the windows shut. This unit is on the 2nd floor of a 3-story building and the stairs leading up to the the upper floors are narrow but manageable. The host provided a complimentary bottle of wine and box of cherry chocolates upon arrival. There is a shared laundry room on the first floor included without coin operation. Lighting inside the main hallway inside and outside could be better. If you are looking for perfection you may not like this rental, however, it suits it's purpose, especially if you don't expect to spend all day inside. I would have preferred some other seating arrangements in the front room or living space of this unit.
