If you are thinking about booking this place, stop thinking about it and just do it, you won't regret it. The location is central to some great restaurants in this up and coming neighborhood and the area is close to public transportation and walkable (although I did use Uber when I went downtown). The apartment itself is nicely furnished, clean, and the beds are comfortable. In the bathroom there are plenty of towels and washer/dryer if needed (always nice to take home cleans clothes after vacation). Thr only thing to note is that you do share a staircase with the upstairs apartment, however, during the 5 days of my stay I only met the guy living upstairs once (when I was checking out). He was very nice. It was truly a great AirBnB experience; the next time I'm in Boston I will know where I will be staying.
