About the Host: Originally booked another apt and through a mix-up ended with a different accommodation. Glenn reimbursed the price difference (thank you).
Communication was quick and Glenn put me in contact with Kevin.
Kevin was also quick to respond, thorough in presenting the apartment and accommodations.
Accommodation: walk-up building, top floor. Decor in and throughout building is quite out-dated but we weren’t there to stare at the walls. :-). Stairs are squeaky so we (husband and I) felt bad when we were coming and going, especially to grab our 6am coffee at Starbucks.
Mattress was a bit too soft for our taste and not very supportive and if your partner moves or gets up, you basically feel everything. I slept on the furthest side away from door and closest to closet. The bed was positioned in a way in which I had to scoot along a small gap at the foot of the bed to get out of the room or climb over my husband to get out (I chose the latter often to be annoying).
Living room had AC unit and a free standing fan pushed the air into the bedroom so it helped to drown out any street noise. We did not utilize sofa bed but additional linens were in a trunk near the window.
Kitchen was fully equipped with large fridge but we didn’t need to utilize.
Bathroom slightly small but it did its job. Toilet paper, bath towels, hand wash provided. I think there was a bar of soap which we did not use.
Location: great in proximity to some of our favorite restaurants (Butcher Shop) on Tremont and my favorite skincare store Follain (check it out). The neighborhood is mostly residential. Street facing but fairly quiet. Newbury Street would take about 20min walk.
Served us very well consider my sister and family live 2 blocks away and we were there for my nieces birthday.
If you need a place to rest and plan on being out and exploring, this accommodation is a great option!
