Here are some things you need to consider if you decide to use this unit. First, the hosts are good people that have a substandard place to rent. The house is centrally located and close to the BU campus which was important to us for dropping off our child for school.
Here are the negatives to the place:
First, it is on the third floor with no elevator. Second, the unit is very old inside and out. Third, there were no washer and dryers in the house and with only 4 towels left behind for 4 people, we had no choice but to air dry and use the towels daily which towards day three, it was not the most cleanest situation. Fourth, there were only one set of sheets and four towels for our 9 day stay. It didn't feel clean after day three. I felt that if I was the host and knowing that there are no way for the guest to wash and dry the towels at minimum, I would have left more towels behind or have them delivered every few days. Fifth, the house has the old central heating that makes a great deal of noise as the hot water travels through the pipes. Fifth, there are not a great deal of dishes and other things in the house and what is there, it seems that it was left behind by other guests. They are good people, but I would not stay here any more. Having said all of that, the price is very reasonable, but at one point, you know that you should have put price last.
