Very much as described. It really depends on what you're looking for. It is very near Logan airport, public transit, down town, and it's easy to find. It's just extremely noisy, surrounded closely on all sides by heavy vehicular and air traffic which can be smothering. Anyone with noise sensitivity will likely feel oppressed. But, calms down at night so may get some sleep, and easy to get to and close to everything, so perfect for a night's layover. Hosts are knowledgeable and friendly, and will be as flexible as possible. They let me check out late, because I had a late check in requirement at my next lodging. An oasis in an urban storm. Living room is also somewhat insulated from the noise, so a nice place to repose or get some work done. Very homey and well kept amenities. Check in instructions are very clear. I just had an issue with the wifi written on the fridge, because I'm blind and couldn't read it, but they came up stairs upon my arrival and read it to me after I arrived, so no big deal. Anyone who can see will have no problems. Overall, it's a diamond in the rough for sure.
