Meri’s townhouse is just perfect and one of the best airbnb’s we’ve stayed in. It was a real joy to stay here as the place is very comfortable; Meri and Jeff have thought of things that people might need and had them in the house, like dishwasher detergent, coffee filters, and plenty of crockery and toilet paper.
The place was also spotless when we walked in, which we really appreciated.
The kitchen is enormous and well stocked with at least 6 each of crockery and glasses. We noticed that the fridge was stocked with items too, which we didn’t touch.
We stayed at a time when Boston was turning cool (4C overnight!) and so really appreciated the heating (which works incredibly well), and gas fire in the main living space.
The king size bed in the main bedroom was extremely comfortable.
The shower in the bathroom is INCREDIBLE! Never before in a private house have I experienced a shower with 6 jets on the ceiling/walls. I felt a little guilty about water usage, but that soon subsided after I jumped in! ☺
Meri referred to her place as a ‘townhouse’, which I came to learn is quite typical of the Boston area. After you enter the front door off the street, you then go up a flight of stairs to Meri’s place. On this level (i.e. second floor), is the lounge/kitchen/bathroom and then up another flight of stairs are two bedrooms.
The bedrooms are in the attic area of the townhouse and therefore the roof slopes away in some areas.
This townhouse is a 30 minute walk to the convention centre. We walked once or twice, but then used Uber X’s for the remainder of our stay. An Uber X to the convention centre was approx. $7USD.
The L Street Tavern a 5 minute walk down the street is a great place for an evening drink. The K & 8th Street market was fantastic for meat, veg and a few staples. There’s also a Stop & Shop on East Broadway, which is a 10 minute walk away.
All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend anyone to stay too.
