The pros and cons of this Airbnb from a person who lived in Boston for 6 years.
Pros: location, decor, cleanliness, laundry
Cons: parking, not well stocked in the kitchen, not quick to fix issues within the apartment, very noisy
The only reason I would ever rent a place like this is because of a pandemic. If you are trying to have a nice time in the city but avoid public transportation and driving, then this is the best location. You can literally walk to everything! It also looks just like the photos. it's beautifully curated.
However, parking in this area is a nightmare. Spothero helped, but plan on paying for parking. It's very noisy, both from having paper thin walls inside and the street facing windows. Our window was left open when we arrived, but the AC was on. I was unable to close it. I messaged the owners to try to get someone to come close it but nobody ever showed up. It was very noisy. That would be an awful situation if it were raining or snowing! And the kitchen was oddly under stocked. They had every utensil and dish needed but no cooking oils, salt, pepper, the basics you expect even in a pandemic.
I'm just being honest about what to expect. It was really great in some ways and just meh in others. I didn't necessarily feel that I got my money's worth at this location because of some of the cons. You could just stay at one of the hotels nearby for a similar amount of money but less hassle. I also had family who stayed in the Boston area to get cancer treatment at MGH. This location isn't particularly close to MGH. There are other units in buildings where you can literally walk across the street. Again, this is just to manage your expectations, not to discourage using this Airbnb location.
