I am an essential worker who needed a place to stay for a month during the COVID-19 pandemic. This apartment was the perfect place for me to stay and work during a difficult time. It is a well decorated apartment with a nice view of the street. The space was the perfect size for me, but I imagine it would feel cramped for more than one person if you were planning to spend a lot of time there. The kitchen has all the essentials you need and plenty of space for groceries. I had some trouble using the stove, so I mostly cooked on the hotpad.
The best thing about this apartment is the location - easy walking distance to Back Bay, Fenway, the Common, Chinatown, downtown. There is a grocery store a couple blocks away and lots of restaurants nearby.
The hosts were super helpful and responded to all my questions within an hour or so. Check in was very easy - you get two codes that you use to access the building and the unit.
My only complaint about this apartment is that the walls are paper thin. You will hear everything happening in the other unit on this floor, and they will hear everything you do, too. Some of the neighbors I had during my time at this apartment argued a lot, had loud phone calls, or watched TV during the day, which sometimes made it hard to work. Also, there was sometimes a smoke smell coming from one of the other units that was especially apparent in the bathroom.
