Pros: Great location close to the Common and splitting the difference between Downtown/Northend and Backbay. The price was comparably good as other Boston stays are rather expensive. The room has a good AC unit/fan.
Cons: The room in the photos is not the exact same 603 room that we stayed in. The room is similar but has a different layout. The room is very small. The bathroom door wouldn't shut. The TV didn't have any channels that came in clear. The street noise (buses, people, cars) was loud, although the host did provide earplugs which were greatly appreciated. Minimal towels were provided. The main door lock doesn't seem particularly secure although there are 3 codes needed to enter the building, floor, and room.
Our primary frustration was that the incorrect room entry code was provided with check-in information. Luckily, we arrived during the daytime and the host was able to contact someone in maintenance for the correct code within 45 minutes. It was extremely frustrating not to be able to enter our room and having the host not know the correct code either. It did get figured out within a generally timely manner, but I wouldn't stay here again.
