We, a married couple, stayed 2 nights 3 days in this basement apartment around the Boston Airport. We valued the affordable price and excellent access to Cambridge and North Boston for sightseeing and business trip, and I would say this apartment is a hidden gem that can be brushed up. Here're some reasons why we left overall 5/5:
## Pros
- 5-minutes walk from the nearest airport shuttle station
- 3-minutes walk from the Blue line station
- Clean, safe, and quiet area
- Smooth Wifi connection
- The host nicely accepted baggage drop-off before the confirmation
## Minor notes that could help some people consider this AirBnB:
- We're not sure about the reason, but only the shower room encountered severely low water pressure compared to the other spouts during our stay.
- We easily heard guests on the upper floor walking, though this was not a problem for us
- I felt that the instructions from the host often popped up at the last minute in our case, and we ended up missing the baggage drop-off before the check-in. However, the host was responsive during our stay.
## Minor improvements or a little bit confusing descriptions to be noted:
- Instead of a microwave, a toaster oven was available.
- A hair dryer was missing, though we had our own dryer and didn't ask the host for it
- Regarding the "Cooking basics" description, we found only glass cups. Pots, pans, oil, or seasonings would be great for this nice kitchen.
- The washing machine and laundry dryer appear in the picture. Indeed, they were located in the bathroom, and putting laundry detergent could help long-term guests.
- I know this is too fastidious; guests can't expect welcome water bottles in the kitchen, unlike in the picture.
Although I listed some items that could make this AirBnB even better, this apartment was definitely the right fit for our purposes. Overall, we rate this apartment 5/5. Thank you Beaux and Carrol for hosting us!
