5 stars across the board for the key items - host was very responsive to any questions we had; check-in process was smooth/easy; listing was exactly as described. The place itself is very simple - one small main living area (kitchen/living) and 4 bedrooms. That's it - for us, it worked very well. The location is truly exceptional - right near downtown crossing, right off of Boston common. If I could give it 4.75 stars, I would, as I think that's a more fitting rating here. It's a good value for your money -- but to be clear, the place could use a few minor improvements for a 5 star rating. Nothing serious - but upgrading the windows to limit the outside noise (which is significant on weekends, and at all hours, in our case), and investing in some new furniture (couch was college-grade and tired, the coffee tables were missing screws and wobbly, etc) would add the incremental 0.25 stars to this rating. On the whole though, if you're looking for a great location in a very functional place, look no further.
