Boris & Susan's place is basically a boutique hotel. Very hip furniture, lovely rooms with great decor/interior design, great AC (especially for Bostonian summer).
A couple highlights:
+ self-checkins, you get a code for the door, you can check in at any time, which is really great if you have a late flight
+ luggage storage area if you want to leave some stuff before your flight
+ very very clean!
+ lovely touches (some snacks in the room to welcome us)
+ complimentary cold drinks in the fridge (water, sparkling water, some sodas)
+ 10 min walk to the T (blue line) -- the walk is really lovely too!
+ the T station, there is also a free shuttle that would take you to the airport
+ Tacos Jalisco is a close walk away -- best Mexican food in Boston (imo)
Some caveat:
- because the house has been converted into a full on airbnb experience (there are 3 rooms at the house and they're all different airbnb rooms that guests can book separately), there were no personalized touches/experience with the host
- all communication felt a bit transactional
^ these were not the most important factor for me, but just something to look out for if you're looking for a more "local" experience
All in all, if I were to go back to Boston, I will definitely stay here.
