The host was very friendly and responsive to communication and responded quickly via email and text message. She was flexible with us arriving earlier than expected. The apartment was clean and good for a short stay. She also purchased some groceries (juice, cookies, bread) and had toiletries, clean linens and towels in the apartment. It was very close to the airport - good for early flights.

A few things to note:
*Would only stay with a maximum of 3 adults. The bed in the second bedroom can fit 2 children, but likely not spacious enough for 2 adults.
*The living area air conditioning did not work very well, making it too hot for anyone to sleep on the futon. You can only run the air conditioner either in the bedrooms or the living area, due to possible power shortage.
*Very steep stairwell to climb to arrive at the apartment. We specifically chose to stay due to an early flight and had luggage that was difficult to carry up the stairs.
*Toll to exit East Boston to downtown Boston via car/taxi/uber $5.25.
*Neighborhood was residential with families - not many tourists.
