We enjoyed our stay. Frank's place was the perfect size for our party of 4, although my daughter slept on an air mattress, as the second bed is only a double, which another guest mentioned, I think. The well-equipped kitchen and table for 6 meant we could host meals for us and our graduating child and partner with cooking and take-out, keeping an elderly relative out of restaurants, reducing covid risk. Didn't use public transportation, but always easily found on-street parking at the beginning of the block, a few doors down. Am at a loss as to why some guests found the neighborhood sketchy: the houses are well-maintained, the street is well lit, there's a nice community garden across the street that was being tilled and planted while we were there, and the house across has an elaborate trellis and pergola set-up for intensive gardening. Close in Boston is a constant mix of neighborhoods, and often main thoroughfares are noisier/cheaper/less kept up, while more desirable side streets are nicer. The only downside for us was noise and street lights in the main bedroom, which is directly on the aforementioned well-lit street, but also on the corner of a very narrow side street. Some noise from outside, but some from the Airbnb unit upstairs, where guests with loud shoes were up late or up very early, constantly going back and forth, getting ready and finally clunking their rollaway down the stairs to an Uber waiting well before sunrise. That's luck of the draw, but the bedroom is best for heavy sleepers.
