OK, so Elisangela is the BEST host I have ever worked with on Air BnB. She responded almost immediately (within 5 minutes) of my initial Air BnB request, which was typical of all of our subsequent interactions. She was present at the key exchange, which was a first for me. She hung around and chatted for a while and showed me around, which was also really nice. AND she bought groceries--(milk, yogurt, juice, coffee cake, and every toiletry I could possibly imagine). This is a 3rd story walk-up apartment, so maybe not for those who can't take stairs, but it was clean and had an airy feel, and I felt absolutely comfortable there. The photos are a very good representation of the apartment. And, what a treat, it has HD cable TV! Bed was comfortable, and the host really put a lot of thought into ensuring the guest had everything possibly imaginable--honestly I felt like we were long-time friends by the time she left; that's how much care she took in ensuring my comfort. There is an outdoor space as well, which had a nice breeze on warm nights. The East Boston neighborhood was safe and friendly, with an excellent restaurant (Angela's Cafe) just across the street. This restaurant has been featured on the Food Network and did not disappoint. While the apartment does not have parking, there was plenty of parking to be found on the street (within 1 block); one just needs to be mindful of street cleaning days (twice a month, I think). I will definitely want to stay here again. Perfect experience.
