The price is OK for living in downtown Boston. However, it is unnecessary since the public transportation here is so convenient (this was my first time in Boston), and downtown area is so noisy day and night! If I had known, I would have lived somewhere else a little further away and cheaper.
The room was like it had not finished. It was dusty, the carpet was very hairy from previous tenants’ animals, and I found a used cotton bud.
The elevator was not working when I stayed (the owner said that it will be inaccessible from November 22, 2021 to March 1, 2022). I am not sure how often this happens. Be aware because carrying your luggage for 4 floors is not fun. I was informed about a week before my arrival.
The HVAC or A/C system was shared with other rooms on the same floor. If somebody cooks, you will participate unintentionally in their dinner. The heater was very dry without humidifier provided (or skin cream). I come from Midwest. I think I quite tolerate to dry air, but this room is too much. We got severe skin irritation.
The laundry room works OK. However, it was quite scary for my girl to go alone.
It is hard to explain but I feel like I was living in a hotel rather than living in an Airbnb. The previous Airbnb places I have stayed before in either the States or Europe made me felt like living in a home or friend’s house. This place made me felt like I was living in a hotel or IKEA showroom. I could not feel the warmth. Moreover, the amenities here were just enough, but in the other Airbnb normally had plenty.
I think you can easily find better choices than this place in Boston.
