Philip was an excellent host. We arrived to find the room clean and as it was described. Check-in and out was simple and communication with Philip (and Jen) was practically instantaneous. This is obviously no fault of Philip's, but I would strongly urge anyone considering a stay here (or anywhere in East Boston, to be fair) to look into the parking situation ahead of time. We racked up $280 in fines over 36 hours -- a $100 ticket for parking NEAR (not in front of) a fire hydrant, a $40 ticket for parking on the street because street sweeping takes place on the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of every month (unfortunately landing in the midst of our trip), and then $140 to get our car out of the impound lot because they tow it if it's in the way of street sweeping. We decided to leave a day early as we had seen what we wanted to see in Salem and this was a major damper on our morale. That being said, Philip was gracious and understanding enough to refund us for the extra day, which we really appreciated. Again, nothing against this Airbnb in particular -- the room itself was everything we wanted! Just pay extremely close attention to the signage around the area and do not assume "you're good" if there's any kind of doubt, as that really bit us in the butt.
