The good:
Great location with in walking distance to everything downtown, the T, and blue bikes with in a few blocks. Hop on the green line from the airport which drops you off right in Beacon Hill in about 15-20 minutes. Cool old building and awesome neighborhood close to the park, Cheers bar, Acorn St, and any Freedom Trail destination by walking.
The bad:
The apartment was very dated, in need of repairs, and a bit overpriced but Boston is expensive. The bathroom door doesn't stay shut, the bathroom ceiling's paint was falling off with what looked a bit like mold w/o a bathroom vent, the bathroom tiles looked a little moldy and the vanity paint was non-existent in spots with rotted partial board doors, again because of no vent.
The living room's curtain rods barely held up the curtains; extremely cheap.
The kitchen had a 2" chunk of hardwood floor missing/broken next to the oven.
The bed was a very uncomfortable 10" memory foam rock and the IKEA bed frame was very squeaky and needs to be tightened.
The coaxial cable was trained to the living room though the kitchen, around the kitchen island, and around/inside the fireplace to the tv.
The single pane windows barley open and leak a lot of cold air.
The single ply toilet paper was about as cheap as money can buy.
There's a coffee maker but no filters.
The freezer has no ice cube trays.
The deadbolt was poorly repaired with missing trim.
The cabinet door hinge was replaced in the bedroom but the holes never repaired.
There's about 100 coats too many of paint on everything.
