Richard is a very good host. He was waiting for me to give me the keys and worked with me to accommodate my weird schedule.
The apartments is exactly how it is described and depicted in the pictures. Not bad, a little dated, but a good value none the less.
Bedroom is a little "drafty" because of the A/C placement in window. The noise from the upstairs apartment can be obtrusive but it is not constant at least.
It has everything you need. Oven, Microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee machine, pots and pans.
The apartment is situated on a side street so you will not get much noise from the outside.
The neighborhood might be the best and most authentic one in Boston.
