Amazing location and good overall value but have the right expectations before booking. For what you save on costs versus other nearby listings, you’ll have to overlook the details and quality of some basic amenities. If the mattress and pillows were updated, this would be a 5/5 with the location and value, but because it feels like the owners have minimized costs wherever possible, it’s a 4/5 star at best. Yes the stairs are narrow and steep but that’s just a Boston brownstone for you. The laundry in the basement is inexpensive and clean machines. Bring your own shampoo and bathroom soaps. Towels and bedding are lesser quality. Pleasant enough stay and glad I found it while in need of a last-minute booking.
