Great host, very helpful and went over the top to help us check in early and gave us advice on luggage storage. Very nice apartment with nice living room, cable tv and bedroom. Very affordable price. The location however is why we picked this place, it was easily walkable to any part in Boston. We walked to Back Bay, north end, beacon hill, waterfront and even seaport district; all within a 10-20min easy walk.
It however is directly across the street from a very business homeless shelter. It’s probably worse now in the middle of winter in COVID, but at times there were 10 to 15 beggars lining the street harassing us every time we entered or exited the apartment. So much so that we had to bypass boylston street entirely. It appears that police have to come every few hours to clear them out. If it was just me I would not have cared, however this was a romantic weekend getaway so kind of bummed us out.
Overall a great apartment and a great price. It was in the best possible location. Would stay again.
