I truly cannot recommend Kristen's place enough! This is by far one of the best AirBnB experiences that I've ever had, and I've stayed in several units.
First and foremost, Kristen is so kind and very responsive. She is truly the embodiment of a fantastic host! Her property manager is also very helpful and made sure we had all of the info we needed to check-in smoothly using the lock box and code.
The apartment itself is absolutely STUNNING! The pictures look amazing, but the real thing is even better. My mom and I came up to Boston to get acclimated with the area because I'll be moving there in May to begin PA school. We wanted to find a place that was big enough for us to each have privacy when we needed, but also have a nice common area to hang out and relax. This unit was the perfect fit! And my mom plans to stay here when she comes to visit me in Boston in the future.
ALSO - In terms of location, it doesn't get much better than this! The apartment is located in historic Charlestown steps away from a small shopping center (with Whole Foods, CVS, Petco, and a few more stores), Starbucks, a wine/liquor store, and is near Main Street - which has several coffee shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is so beautiful and historic - perfect for walking around! We walked over to the Bunker Hill monument (~3-5min walk), and over to the Navy Yard to see the sights. The unit is about a 7-9 min Uber ride to the North End, where we went to get authentic Italian cuisine on our first night in town.
I feel like I could go on and on about how wonderful this place is, but I'll just leave you with this - if you're between another unit and this one - BOOK THIS ONE! You'll be so happy you did :)
