I guess this is just a regional thing I’m not used to. I’ve stayed at many air bnbs in several states and never had any interaction with the host. This happened 3 different times on this trip, where the hosts let us in and showed us to the room and everything. It just doesn’t actually feel very private. Don’t get me wrong, the hosts were friendly and helpful I’m just not used to actually meeting them. All that to say, if privacy is a very important factor for you, this may not be the place to stay.
The room and bathroom were clean and as described. It was a convenient distance to the blue line and there was parking which is nice in Boston. Good place to crash for 1 or 2 people. Ample electrical outlets in the room.
Oh also, if you’re a plus-size person you may have issues. I am not a small person and the bathroom, especially the shower, was pretty cramped. If you’re going to be there a few days and like baked potatoes as much as I do it’s something to think about.
