The living space was as you see in the pictures. We had everything we needed. I wasn't sure about the neighborhood when we got to the apartment but we didn't have any trouble. The ceilings are very low, this would not be great space for a tall person. Our tallest person was 5' 11" and he had no head space in the shower. The Apt. was clean, beds comfortable, nice linens. It is a basement space, so you can hear everything from above. We had no trouble parking. Boston attractions where within 30 minutes, and Fenway was a 25$ Uber ride away. Also,had a great meal at an Italian resturant down the road. Overall it was a good space. and the hosts were great communicators.
