Hi future travelers,
So I was here for 5 days. I would list good and bad points so that it will be helpful for everyone.
Bad points -
room - The room I was in, was not comfortable, everything was way too old. The furniture, cupboards, bedsheet, bed, closet and work table and chair was not comfortable.
Bathroom - Bathroom cannot be locked from inside. Though it was clean and nobody disturbed me when I was there. It is a new place and it is uncomfortable to use bathroom that cannot be locked from inside.
Rules and regulations - this is my first Airbnb experience, I felt there was many rules and regulation.
check in and check out time - this was the most problematic for me, I had talked about it with the host previously about my early check in and late check out request, she said she wouldn't be able to do early check in but would try but house was not available till 4PM. Then she said I could checkout anytime till a day before I leave but on that day she wanted me to leave in-between 10 Am to 11 am. I hate last minute changes. My flight was at 4PM and I spent all the time at airport. It is difficult to carry luggage and see around Boston.
Location - so the nearest bus station was Dudley square. It was the station I used mostly as google showed it was easiest way to go to my destined location. I didn't find it that safe. The safety line is pretty thin and you have to walk 9 min to the station. I was there one day at 8Pm , there was too much noise and even uber driver told me she wouldn't use that station at night time. The house is safe and you will feel safe with the host too but if you want to take bus and go to the station, it won't feel that safe.
Good point was
Dinner with the host and friends - The only thing I enjoyed when I stayed was the lobster dinner host invited for. I could meet new people and here there stories, it was fun meeting other guests in the house.
