A great unit in a great location. We were there with our son for college visits. Northeastern U is a 10 minute walk, the other schools were an easy Uber ride. We did not use the T (the subway) but the stop is just a block away. The neighborhood is "gentrified" and we felt totally safe walking at night.
Susan and David are wonderful AirBnB hosts, with lightening fast responses. They live in the building, and obviously give the unit a lot of TLC. Susan was an unobtrusive host, just checked in by text to make sure everything was going well. Excellent space, easy check in with a lock box and separate unit code, extremely well furnished, new bathrooms & kitchen fully stocked with all appliances, great water shower pressure (often a problem in an older building)! The rooftop balcony was tops, we were lucky to have good weather to enjoy it. The AirBnB photos are accurate.
Before we left Susan showed us the other unit on the floor that they also rent out--just as nice, and together the two would be perfect for a larger family or group.
As a local resident, Susan was a great source of info for restaurants (SRV, a top Italian restaurant was her rec just a bock away) etc. A well-known Jazz club is a block away, Wally's Cafe, where students from Berkelee and New England Conservatory often play. The Boston Symphony is two blocks or so away; a 20 minute walk to Fenway Park, that area is built up as well with restaurants, shops, bars.
Overall, a great experience, highly recommended.
