We really enjoyed our stay! The location is good - definitely not in downtown Boston but easy enough to get there from the Roxbury Crossing T Station (orange line). It's about a 10-minute walk from the house... downhill on the way there and uphill on the way back. We had 9 adults and there was more than enough space for hanging out and sleeping. The apartment is very up-to-date, sheets and beds are very comfortable, and everything was very clean. As other reviewers have noted, this apartment starts on the 3rd floor - the 3rd floor contains: 1 bedroom with 3 beds, 1 half bath, 1 full bath, open living room/kitchen area. The second floor contains: 1 bedroom with 2 beds, 2 bedrooms with 1 bed each, a full bath, and a closet with stacked washer/dryer. There was laundry detergent available to use. The water pressure in the showers was great, and there seemed to be infinite hot water. There was PLENTY of free street parking, which was a huge perk because we had three cars with us and that was a concern of ours. One item that would be nice to add is a full-length mirror somewhere in the apartment. We could hear our neighbors on the 2nd floor pretty clearly, although it didn't matter much to us, it's something to make note of. None of these things would have been deal breakers, though - we did really enjoy our stay!
The downsides: a previous reviewer noted that the "first" (third) floor half bathroom door did not close. The host replied to the review stating that the problem had been resolved. It was not resolved. With 9 adults sharing a space, it feels essential to have as many usable bathrooms as possible, and it was even more frustrating that someone else had already made note of this, and the host did not solve the problem. The kitchen cabinet above the microwave was still hanging off, again as noted in a previous review. One piece of the couch was also damaged, again as noted in a previous review. Fortunately, we did not encounter any mice. The first floor full bathroom also seems to be accumulating a decent amount of water damage next to the shower, which looks like it could be problematic in the near future.
Additionally, there was a form to be completed after booking, which I did 4 months before our stay. At the time of check-in, we never received information on how to access the apartment (digital codes, etc.)... After calling, the host stated that the form was not fully completed and my ID hadn't uploaded, which is why we never received check-in information. While I 100% understand the need to have the ID/form completed, I was shocked that nobody contacted me before checking in. It would take just a moment to call and follow up, and let me know that while the form had been completed, the ID portion hadn't gone through, and would have saved both me and the host time on the day of check-in.
Overall, we had a fabulous weekend and we would absolutely return to this apartment or others owned by this host. We really enjoyed the time together, the apartment is mostly in great shape, and the location was perfect for our needs.
