Sophia's place is just as described. First of all, the location is even better than I'd expected. Beacon Hill is absolutely a stunning neighborhood and the apartment is centrally located on one of the most beautiful streets that's just 3 to 5 minutes from the Commons. The Red and Green lines are both within 3 minutes to the apartment, Wholefoods/CVS across the streets with many dining options around. The apartment itself is more spacious than I'd expected and plenty of space for one or two people. The bed is comfortable, and there are essential kitchen and bathroom supplies. The bathroom ceiling is a bit low, but I had no issues (I'm 5'4''). The apartment pretty much has a private entrance facing the streets, which I loved. The keypad check-in was smooth and easy. There's a large TV with a number of free streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, and some live TV. Sophia also has some considerate nice touches, such as decorations, Alexa, candles, and cooking supplies. This is a huge steal for the price and I strongly recommend it.
More importantly, I cannot praise Sophia as a host enough. The Coronavirus outbreak began on the 4th day of my stay and my trip was disrupted. Before Airbnb expanded its refund policies to domestic trips, Sophia had agreed to postpone the rest of my trip (3 weeks) and give me future credit. This was not something many hosts had agreed to or willing to do at the time and truly shows Sophia's generous and kind characters. I have received a refund directly from Airbnb but I will definitely rebook Sophia's place when I return to Boston.
Thank you Sophia, and I hope everyone enjoy your stay at this lovely apartment.
