Bo was an awesome host. While we didn't interact face-to-face that much, he was very responsive to my texts. I had an issue with bug bites along my neck, arms, and legs the second week I was there, which unfortunately left some scarring. Once I told him, he immediately replaced the mattress the next day and sprayed down the room.

The kitchen is a little bare bones - I would definitely have to purchase my own things if I were staying longer because I love cooking. Counter space can be limited since we only have the counters to store food.

The only real issues I had were with other tenants. I had food stolen from me. Eggs (6+), bread, and chips went missing. It can also be an issue if you need to use the restroom, but it's occupied (keep in mind it's 4 occupants to 1 restroom). It can also be difficult if you need a quiet environment. Since the walls of the rooms don't reach the ceiling, it's very easy for sound to permeate quite loudly throughout the entire space. I could hear a tenant speaking on the phone in his room (across the living room) while I was in my room and all doors are closed. There were a few nights I had trouble falling asleep and had to use my headphones to play music to drown out my neighbor talking on the phone.

It's great that it's close to the buses and green line. It's easy to get to Harvard and BU if you're a student (it's also really close to BC). The space is really big and it's a great value for a long term stay. Bo is really nice and responsive, and Faye (his dog) is super cute. She can be a little barky, but she doesn't bite. All-in-all it's a great place to stay, just keep in mind you're sharing the space with other people and know what that comes with.
