OK, so the good..
I came from abroad to Boston and picked this Airbnb as my base to search for a long-term apartment, so I needed something clean, quiet, and with good wifi.

The best thing about this place was the host - Marie went above and beyond, even picking me up at the airport (for free!); driving me to Best Buy when I needed to buy a phone ASAP, and checking in on me frequently to make sure all was well. She even left tons of fruit, bottled water, and granola bars (as well as shower towel and soap) for me to consume. This is more than any airbnb place has done! Marie was friendly and helpful, and even let me change my reservation in advance from 30 days to 7 after I'd already paid.
- there's a walgreens right next door so you can get the essentials of cereal/shampoo, etc.
-good wifi access, hot water, heat, etc. The basics are all there, and the air mattress was surprisingly comfortable.

and the bad..
-the neighborhood felt shady and I got cat-called a few times. As a single woman, I came home each night anyway before 10pm since I was apartment searching, but I don't think I would have felt very safe coming home late, since the apt. is a 10 minute was from the station.
