Typically when I look for AirBNB locations, I like to have something that affordable and provides free parking. What really caught my eye about this listing is that it is probably one of the most affordable places in Boston. Although it is further away from downtown, there is a train station w/in a short walking distance that you can take. And yes there is free parking provided if you do rent a car.
But one thing I do want to mention is that you will have climb a good amount of stairs to the 3rd floor of his place and they are quite narrow (spiral staircase). I definitely had a little bit of fear walking down it each time. Also I woudn't recommend Jim's place for those that are relatively tall. Although I am not tall (I am ~5'4") I bumped my head a few times in the bathroom and also getting dishes from the small pantry (those were the most painful). It also does feel a littie cramped in the living room air but was fine for the days I stayed here.
But other than that, it was a good stay. Jim was great to meeting with me and my husband when we arrived and was also helpful at carrying up some of our luggage when we arrived. He also did offer to help us bring down our luggage too if we needed on the morning we checked out. It was also greatly appreciated that Jim had some snacks and fruit provided for us on the dining table. Jim was also quick to respond via message through AirBNB and phone.
Overall, a good stay and would stay here again.
