Gavin's place was a good rental during a very busy college visit weekend. The stairs to the apartment were steep and the first day, there was a very strong bleach smell in the entry hallway, which I guess was coming from the salon below.I did not smell the bleach smell the other days. The apartment was pretty much as depicted in the pictures, except there were crumbs on the kitchen counter. Otherwise apartment seem pretty clean. There was music playing one late night and a couple of early mornings from the apartment above. The location was convenient to colleges in the city of Boston. There was also a great pizza place nearby.
