First the good... beautiful vintage brownstone, just what you expect, lots of charm. Great location, 5 min walk from Fenway and lots of places to eat. Lihua is a great host, great communication and helpful. Now the not so good... we ended up in a room facing the alley and there is a construction site. The first night they started work at 4am!!! Lihua said it was the dumpster that comes once a day and is supposed to come at 6am, but the noise didn't stop, so maybe it was also the dumpster... They were using a lift that just beeped for hours and they are replacing glass so everytime they threw an old window in the dumpster it was a loud crashing sound. It was so bad we had to leave. I understand the construction isn't the fault of the host BUT... it should be disclosed on the listing and then each person can make a choice. Had we known, we wouldn't have picked this place or made sure we were in a room facing the street. The guests in the room facing the street said they didn't hear anything. We had to book something else last minute which was very expensive and had a hard time finding something at that late notice. Lihua was kind and understood and did refund all the nights we didn't use.
