This is a lovely place with a great host! Peter was there quickly if I needed anything (he lives in the unit upstairs) -- and unobtrusive when I didn't. He's very friendly and helpful. The apartment was exceptionally clean and quiet (the only noise I heard was occasional soft sounds from walking upstairs, which were over quickly), despite the fact that it has a lot of large windows and lots of light. None of the windows face onto the street, which anyway, is a quiet side street, with lots of free unlimited parking. I was always able to park right in front of the house. Plus, it's a short walk to the Ashmont stop on the Red Line which takes you directly into Boston and Cambridge. The master bedroom has a huge king-size bed with a very comfortable tempurpedic mattress and a large TV screen with many free choices - I used Showtime and Netflix, and there were many more that I didn't explore. The black-out shades and drapes block out all the light, so I had no trouble sleeping-in.
The apartment is on the first floor (floor 0 to Europeans) and accessed from the back porch (six steps up to the back porch). The layout consists of a center hall/foyer about 6x7 feet, with four doorways leading to the master bedroom, the beautiful large bathroom, the second bedroom (which features a double bed and a large comfy chair) and the fully equipped eat-in kitchen featuring a folding table, full-size gas stove, Keuri coffee machine, and many handy tools and condiments. Off the kitchen on one side is a large walk-in pantry with additional cabinets and counters; on the other side is the door leading to the walk-through coat closet, and the door to outside. There's no actual living room, but the apartment is spacious and I think, perfect for one to three people.
I highly recommend this AirBnb and look forward to my next visit!
