The host was very nice, everything was smooth. Location is perfect. BEWARE - Pictures are nicer than the apartment. 1. Boston was not hot mid 70's and the AC could not cool the apartment. Two tiny units that blow but can not cool this apartment. 2. It was one of the cheapest rates on AirBNB but the apartment is very worn and the building was a mess. The elevator did not work the first day (five flights of stairs), the carpets on the stairs have holes, walls are marked, the building is like a college dorm. When you get to the apartment, it was clean but bug traps under all the furniture, cracked paint, dirty wood floors, etc. Bed is ok. If I was 20 and needed a cheap place, this is it. If you are expecting more, keep looking. I was there for work and this was 1/2 the price of hotels, so it was ok but just wish the condition of the apartment was more clear.
