The place was extremely clean, not fancy, but definitely a clean, safe house in Boston. It is in an area of town that's maybe not as quiet as some others, but if you're used to a city, it's not really a big deal. The wifi didn't really work which was kind of difficult when visiting for work. If you have a lot to do in Boston, it may be worth spending the extra money to stay a few blocks over.
The communication from the host company was really excessive and unlike anything, we've ever experienced staying in an Airbnb. It kind of felt accusatory before even getting there. I definitely would have preferred being able to check in verified only through Airbnb (instead of two third-party extra rental agreements and ID checks), and no daily messages with reminders about potential fees if anything was messed up.
Giving four stars because you get what you pay for! The biggest thing is being safe and clean and this stay had both of those things.
