The entrance to this apartment is underneath a staircase that serves the upper level apartments. The unit is in the basement. It was a little difficult getting into the basement unit as the entry hallway has a motion light that turns off after about 5 seconds. The hallway gets very dark, and it is really hard to see the keyhole, plus you have 3 keys to test. You have to duck to enter the unit as the door is about 5 feet high. Once you are through the door, you are in the unit at the top of the stairs.

Once inside the unit, it was pretty spacious and clean. There was a bit of a musty smell, which I think originated from the water pipes beneath the stairs. Like I said, the unit is below grade.

There is free Wi-Fi, but we had trouble getting cellular signal. The first night we ordered food, and I did not get the call when the delivery guy called us at first.

There is a mini fridge, microwave, small sink, electric griddle, coffee maker, cups, plates, silverware, bottle opener, etc. Bathroom was clean and had 2 towels. The bedroom did not have its own door, and the bed was not the most supportive as it sunk towards the middle.

Bill was very communicative and quick to respond. He made sure to check on us (via text) when we arrived to make sure we got in OK.

That being said, this was a fairly decent price for Boston and was the reason we chose this place over the more expensive places in the more popular areas.
