The location of this apartment is excellent. Not only is it convenient to the T but it is in the lovely historic neighborhood of Beacon Hill, where good markets (a Whole Foods and CVS) and excellent restaurants abound.
The apartment is spacious and a bit upside down in that the bedroom and bathroom are upstairs and the living area and kitchen are in a windowless basement. That worked fine for us.
The biggest problem was the cleanliness of the apartment. Some of the utensils in the kitchen weren't clean and the refrigerator needed a wipe-down. Also, the bedding was quite shabby for an apartment that cost as much as this one did. I felt like I was sleeping on old threadbare sheets, and the coverlet, which was white, didn't look like it had been washed in quite some time.
The host didn't really communicate much with us except to give us the complicated entry instructions. I've stayed in other AirBnbs where the host put a simple entry code in, or used OUR phone number which was easy to remember. I don't know where on earth the host concocted this bizarre arrangement of numbers, but they weren't easily remembered. There were instructions on how to change the code, but why didn't the host change the code to be our phone number or something easily remembered?
Overall, we loved our stay in the apartment, but I wish I'd felt the same when I climbed into the bed each night. For the price of this place, the sheets and covers should be crisp and brand spanking new, and the coverlet should be super clean.
