Pros
Great location, beautiful home, lots of restaurants within walking distance, local bars, free parking (which is amazing because this is not very common in the area/Boston), kitchen access for long term guest. Would recommend bringing own dishes (my experience was other guest not cleaning the dishes they used.)
Cons
I found that Charles welcomes communication when their are issues but often responds in an aggressive and defensive manor. I felt that in actuality I couldn’t come forth with my concerns with out having to deescalate the conversation.
A few of the other guest made similar complaints.
The house was not very clean in my 6 month stay. Lots of dust and dirty bathrooms. I made sure to clean up after myself but it is difficult to control cleanliness with the volume of people in and out. With the potential for 7 total guest at anytime it would be nice if there was routine cleaning.
Charles does not live on the property so I believe some of the issues are easy for him to over look as they do not directly impact him. Myself and other gust have reached out about each issue with him and as previously mentioned the communication was taxing.
There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor with 1 bathroom and 4 bed rooms on the second floor with another bathroom. Make sure to plan for potential delays using shower and toilet in the morning and evening
Overall this is great for a short term stay. I would not recommend for a long term stay as your concerns might not be addressed.
