This establishment contains all the modern amenities that you could wish for, save for a TV... probably a plus in an apartment shared with other guests. Each room and common area is super-clean... truly spotless. Each room has a desk space and a very-comfortable bed. Shared bathrooms did not provide any issues during my stay, and remained clean through thoughtful guests. The method of electronic self-check in and entry/exit that Boris and Susan provide is superb. The place attracted a high caliber of guests who respected each other. Great stay!
Convenience of the location depends on your individual needs and expectations. Street parking appeared to be pretty tight. The ten-minute walk to the subway station was perfect for my needs, as public trans on the MBTA system is really user-friendly for those who don’t mind a bit of walking. Downtown Boston is across the bay from this Airbnb, easily traversed by one subway stop. Guests who enjoy Latin cuisine will appreciate the numerous, small mom & pop eateries lining the streets of this East Boston location. The shopkeepers and fellow pedestrians were quite pleasant.
I enjoyed my stay very much and would stay at Boris & Susan’s place again.
