In Boston for a new job and decided to Airbnb it for a while while looking for a place to stay. I stayed in several different Airbnbs in Boston. Here are my takeaways from the Maverick #12 unit:

Pros:
* Incredible location. Tons of shops/restaurants, easy walking distance to the Charles River & Copley T stop. CVS is on the corner for all your conveniences, like if you need a roll of t.p. (more on that later). OOne of the reviewers complained about the noise. I was here on a Friday and Saturday night and sure you hear a little street noise, but nothing was obnoxious and I slept just fine. If you're worried about noise, you might consider staying somewhere that is not one of the busiest areas of Boston.
* The unit was very clean and un-lived in. The other 2 Airbnbs I stayed in were clearly someone's primary residence. This felt a bit more like a hotel experience, though it was missing a few kind of essential items (more on that later).
* It is totally remodeled. Having looked at several apts in the area to live in, this is rare. Most places in Back Bay are old and dusty.
* The shower was great, excellent water pressure and consistent temp, except one morning where the hot water was randomly broken and I was stuck with a cold shower. I alerted the owner and it was fixed same day (more on that later).
* The kitchen has basic items. One nonstick pan, two small cutting boards, one sharp knife, some utensils, and bowls/plates/glasses/coffee mugs.
* It does have DirecTV

Cons:
* Every Airbnb I've been in offered basics like soap in the bathroom, dish soap, and extra toilet paper. None of this here - expect to buy your own. Which kinda sucks if you get in late at night and everything is closed (the Walgreens a few blocks away is 24 hrs).
* The bed is a flat rectangular rock with smaller rectangular rocks for pillows. Furthermore, everything is covered in waterproof plastic that is very crinkly. Also, if you are 5'5", expect your feet to touch the bottom. If you are taller, expect to hang off the bed. I think it's a full sized bed.
* Having interacted with a number of hosts now, I wouldn't call Alicia super responsive. Even though she got the hot water situation fixed the same day, I had to message her a couple of times to find out if she even got my message (or voicemails).

Only other thing is that the unit is on the 4th floor so be prepared to climb some stairs. Didn't bother me at all but might bother some.

If you're looking for something with a great location, this is your place. Just be aware of some of the considerations I've outlined.
