For me this was an alternative to the over-priced hotels by the convention center. It was perfect.
1. cost, this was my main factor
2. location, even better than expected. u can see the mall/convention center complex from the window. probably 3min walk to mall, 5min to convention center. quicker if u hit the crosswalks at the right moment. very cute little grocery next door with everything u could need. the area felt very safe and had a lot of pedestrians at all times.
3. apartment was quiet, only saw 1 other person as I was leaving. there is some noise from traffic and people on Newbury street that lasted into the night, but didn't bother me.
4. the apartment is obviously small. It'd be ok for 2 people, but not more. it was clean. maybe a bit more spartan than other airbnbs I've used, especially in the kitchen. but everything was clean.
5. code and locks in/out were sent to me without issue, it was easy.
6. bed was comfy.
7. shower was hot.
8. I'd definitely recommend and stay again
