I would not recommend this host or this apartment on the basis that the studio was poorly maintained, and the host was both unreasonable and unpleasant to deal with. The studio was moderately priced but unclean and not as nice as the pictures. Most importantly, however, the heat did not function. The apartment was very cold, with no air blowing out of the vents--we also noticed that the vents were extremely dirty, a possible reason why the heat had broken down before we moved in. In the dead of winter in Boston, this was wholly unacceptable. The host was quick to respond to our messages but could not send someone out to take a look at the problem until the next day. Obviously, we could not spend the night in an apartment that had no heat. We were offered to spend the night in a different room but on the condition that it be only a single night, and since that would require us moving multiple times over the course of only a few-day stay, and there was no guarantee that the heat in the old room would be fixed quickly, we sought a refund instead. Although our request was entirely reasonable, the host refused to grant us a refund, claiming that we needed to allow the host time to fix the problem. Given that the problem was a lack of heat in Boston during early February, this was wholly unreasonable. We could not wait overnight and at least into the next day for the heat problem just to be looked at, let alone fixed. Luckily, Airbnb took care of us, and we received a full refund.
