If location is the only thing you need, this place might work. Everything else not so much.
The place is very tight and cold in the winter. The heater works but is very loud, nice to wake up in the middle of the night. It only heats the back part of the apartment. The front room by the door and windows is very cold and drafty.
I tried working from the apartment but it’s very dark even with all the lights on and the shades open.
The bathroom is mostly clean but in need of repair, the tiles are falling out and you can’t open/close the door properly.
The kitchen is functional but the equipment is incomplete and needs to be replaced.
The host was ok at communicating but the lockbox code in the check-in message didn’t work, so I had to call to check-in. The wifi password in the message was not working, neither was the one on the router.
If you want to be 2mins from Newbury street then this place is fine. If you want to stay at a nice and comfortable apartment for longer, maybe look elsewhere.
