Boris & Susan's place is exceptional across the board. I can't say enough good things to capture the effort they have made to provide a wonderful experience for travelers. Here are the highlights: 1) Cleanliness - the entire place is extremely clean. The bathroom is spotless. It is a newly renovated place so everything looks great. The common areas are also clean and the bedroom is very tidy. 2) Location - This is in the heart of Eastie on a main street. It is a short walk to both Maverick and Airport train stations. There are plenty of food options nearby and a grocery store just a 5 min walk away. In addition there is a Marshalls and CVS close by for last minute needs. It is also a safe area. I walked around alone at night and never felt unsafe at all. 3) Hosts - Boris and Susan really are model Airbnb hosts. They are extremely considerate and are professional in their approach, yet inviting.
They include the story of how they met which is an interesting read. They also give you tips on the local restaurants which is helpful. 4) Check in/out was a breeze. They give you a code to the door and instructions are very clear. 5) Shared space: There are 2 bathrooms so coordinating showers with other guests is actually really easy. The kitchen is big and bright and the living room has a nice sitting area where you can relax if you'd like. 6) Extras: The toilet is oblong (as opposed to round) which I've found is a nice feature of an Airbnb. They provide snacks in the room (nuts, chocolate, etc) which is also helpful when you've had a long day and get home late and hungry. There are also snacks in the kitchen and the fridge is full of different drinks. Really, it is a nice touch. I highly recommend Boris and Susan's place and would stay there again.
