Sophia was a great host, very responsive to needs and questions. The Beacon Hill neighborhood is fantastic, and the price was a bargain comparably. The place is better for short stays, I'd say. I was there almost 8 weeks, so I had large heavy bags and could not get them up the tiny curving (unheated) indoor staircase to the apt without unpacking outdoors a bit first. The mattress needs replacing so I ended up sleeping on the couch (previous review praised comfy bed, which was part of why I chose the place). The apt was not stocked with toiletries or cleaning stuff (dish soap, etc), which is helpful to know going in. Again, Sophia was a capable, pleasant host.
