Some great and not-so-great things about this place:
1) The location is terrific. We walked a block to the T and rode it right to Fenway to see a baseball game. The apartment is right across from the big Commons Park, and near coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Bike rentals are also a block away. Super convenient.
2) The apartment is exactly as pictured. The rooms are nice and the beds are comfortable. The couch is way too hard for sleeping, just FYI.
The not-so-great:
1) The noise. I have three boys and a dog and don't get easily bothered by noise, but there must be almost no insulation in the building, because the sounds made by the neighbors and their kids carried right through the thin walls starting at 7 a..m. Luckily I was awake, but if you tend to sleep late, this might disturb you. We could also hear neighbors walking a floor above when we went to bed at 10:30. The sound seemed amplified - it almost sounded like someone was bouncing a ball against the floor above us. Again, I'm not too bothered by noise but be warned. This is not a quiet building and you will hear your neighbors clearly. The managers of this unit were immediately responsive to my emails and asked if I could identify where the noise was coming from, presumably so they could ask the neighbors to be quieter, but right after I emailed them, the noise stopped and we fell asleep.
2) A minor thing, but despite the coffee maker and filters in the kitchen, there was no coffee available. The rental managers said if I bought some, they would reimburse me. I ended up just walking to Starbucks two blocks away and buying myself a cup. Still, it would have been nice to have had some available, as coffee is a staple in almost every other airbnb I've stayed in through the years.
3) Check in is not until 5 pm, as others have noted in their reviews.
This is very late compared to most airbnb's.
All in all, we had a pleasant stay.
