First, I must say, I instant-booked this Airbnb in April for a stay at the end of June and never received a single message or reply from the owners until I texted the day of arrival and got check-in info. It made me nervous they would cancel on me or something but I trusted the positive reviews and it didn't turn out to be an issue but they might consider sending at least a Welcome message of some type. All my previous Airbnb hosts were quite chatty so that was unexpected and a tad uncomfortable but perhaps more common than I realize. Upon arrival, I was relieved to see the apartment looks just the same as photos. Great location across from a playground. Very interesting historic area near metro. Great outdoor and indoor spaces. I stayed alone (never felt unsafe in the home or neighborhood) but imagine the apartment would be comfortable for up to four people. I was quite disappointed that there was no air conditioning provided as the listing states there is but late June is perhaps a warmer time to visit than usual. I recommend the owners purchase a portable a/c unit for upstairs and a dehumidifier and fan for the basement bedroom as it often felt damp and clammy, making it hard to sleep (it did rain a couple of times while I was there as well, possibly partially to blame). The bedroom was much cooler than upstairs though and the house was quite tolerable in the evenings with the fan going and windows open. If you're visiting in winter you should have no issue as there is baseboard heating upstairs and down. I'd also recommend a rug pad in the living room as the rug has no backing and is quite slippery on the shiny floors. I almost wiped out a couple of times getting up from the sofa and there is a pointy cornered glass coffee table atop the rug so bear in mind if you're clumsy like me/traveling with kids. There is also no washer/dryer as stated in the listing description (though not on the amenities list). Check-in was a breeze, just texted the owner and he gave me the lockbox code and also showed me the apartment when I arrived (as stated by other reviewers, they live next door). I had a rental car for part of the trip and free street parking was no issue. The kitchen has everything you need and the owners have provided basic necessities for coffee/tea/breakfast. The home is lovely and quite comfortable. Water pressure is good and downstairs shower is nice. The bed and sofa (with provided memory foam pad) are both comfortable for sleeping. I heard the neighbors on the other side of the house a bit but not to excess. The location is very convenient for visiting Boston, especially the museums and Fenway area. The green belt is about a 20 minute walk from the unit or the Orange line about 5. The T...
