My wife and I have stayed in various vacation rentals, however we had never used AirBnB, and we had never, and honestly, never considered a shared unit. After staying with Anthony, we are excited to again use the value afforded by this type of accommodation.
The location was fantastic. Right of the Red Line Subway. As we are small town people with limited subway experience, we were a bit apprehensive about getting to the property, and getting around. Anthony sent us detailed directions on how to get the place from Logan Airport. The neighborhood has two excellent restaurants within a 5 minute walk, one an upscale bar and eatery offering generous portions and fantastic food quality, the other a kitschy local breakfast and lunch joint. The area is definitely on the upswing, but as of yet, still has it's South Boston roots and charm, for the most part, intact.
The unit was immaculately clean, with nice furnishings, and clearly had been very recently remodeled with fresh paint, high gloss hardwood floors, and new bathroom fixtures. That being said, much of the original woodwork remained and was painted a fresh white. Classy, modern, but respecting of the history. Bedroom furnishings were sparse, but the bed was comfortable and we had all we needed.
My only complaint at all, was the fact that there was no top sheet, and that there were only two pillows on the queen size bed. I remedied the pillow situation by walking the ten minute round trip to family dollar, and buying two affordable pillows. This property was still well worth the price when factoring in the the additional four dollars per night.
Should we return to Boston, we will definitely stay with Anthony again. I HIGHLY recommend.
