The location of the apartment is great. Easy walking access to all of Boston (very close to Boston Common). The stairs to walk up to the apartment (there is no elevator) are narrow and a bit windy - they were a bit of a challenge with luggage. The room is nice and comfortable. Overall, sharing the bathroom was not an issue. The air conditioning is loud, but manageable. Host was quick to respond with issues we had. Check in was easy. I would recommend the apartment as the location was great.
