I don’t normally write reviews ever but my experience with Andre was so phenomenal that I thought it would be a disservice to not take the time to let other people know!
I am a student whose lease ended the month of August and needed a place to stay short term before I leave Boston during my summer break. I stayed at Andre’s listing for 12 days, and from the beginning Andre was very kind and patient throughout the ordeal. I ended up switching my checkout date several times due to finals scheduling, and he was understanding and gave me a refund. This is my first time renting through Airbnb and I had a lot of questions about rules and policies as a guest, and he patiently answered all of them. It was a stressful time for me with moving out of my old place, staying at a new place, and studying for finals but it was a relief that Andre is a communicative and dependable landlord and I didn’t have to worry about my safety or any misunderstandings.
The room I stayed in was comfortable and clean. In fact, the whole property is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is big, beautiful, and have basic amenities for people to cook or do meal prep. The house has AC and there is a ceiling fan in each room which was a god send in this humid Boston summer. There’s a TV in each room you’re able to use, and the windows have blacked out shades that gives you ample light and privacy. Each room has its own lock and ample closet space for storage. For people who have a car, there’s also a driveway that is big enough to park at. There’s also a cleaning lady that comes every week to clean the bathrooms (not that they were dirty in the first place) which was very convenient! I don’t think there’s washer/dryer in the property but there’s a laundry mat very close by. Luckily, I didn’t need to do laundry during my stay.
If you’re hesitant about having strangers as next door neighbors, don’t be! Everyone has their own schedule so it didn’t feel crowded at all. I was able to use the bathroom or take a shower without much waiting. People were nice and respectful, and most importantly they were quiet that I was able to study!
10/10 would recommend to everyone! If I find myself needing a place to stay at in Boston again, I’m definitely coming back! Thanks for everything, Andre! 💙
