This apartment is in a historic building so there are aesthetic wins: The fireplace mantle and high ceilings are gorgeous. The bed and pillows were fantastic, and a second set of comfy blankets saved me on two icy nights. It was spacious and had decent sunlight.
BUT- Like so many "corporate investor" airbnbs these days, it had extensive rules and felt cold. Literally and figuratively. You have to pass a very popular smoke shop to get into the apartment. The doorway/lobby is sketchy. I'm glad this first floor space didn't face the busy street, but it overlooks the garbage in the alley behind all the neighboring buildings. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the worst- just information for future visitors.
The temp in Boston was 80 on day 1 and dropped to about 30 on days 2 and 3. I could not adjust the thermostat at all so I was burning hot then freezing cold for two days.
They don't leave you a bottle of water or cheap instant coffee or a bag of tea. Any of those would have gone a LONG way to make the place more personal. I wasn't there long enough to spend time going grocery shopping.
I had to drag my suitcase around Boston for 6 hours because they don't let you check in until 5pm... Unless you want to pay more money. There's another rule that if someone else enters the apartment, you owe more money. They were quick and professional in communications, but then asked for a 5 star review. :(
