In many AirBnb reviews you see the phrase, it looked better than the pictures, in this case the pictures looked better. There were cracked tiles and water damage from the shower in the bathroom. While there was a coffee maker and filters, no coffee was provided and only 4 spoons for the two of us. I realize Boston is DD country, but having some coffee there so one does not need to go out seems like a small gesture.
The description mentions 'city noise' and one can request ear plugs and noise machines, unfortunately there was awful construction noise till almost 2 AM the first night (we stayed 2 nights but the 2nd was a Friday). As it was jack hammers or a pile driver I doubt a white noise machine would have helped and I did not find any ear plugs in the unit. Better to provide the machine and ear plugs upfront in the unit instead of saying, contact us if there is noise.
