Great communication from the host, the property was easy to find and it was easy to access to the house via a digital lock. Location is great, on a major bus line, easy to get Ubers and short walks to the "T" Harvard SQ and the Charles River.
Clean, non-descript room upstairs in a victorian house. The location is off the street, so quieter than expected. The guest room had a really comfy bed and was clean but cluttered with large furniture with little open floor space. The bath was also clean, and there are ample supplies (toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoos, toiletries) in the bath, but this suffered from clutter as well and the lighting wasn't very good.
I stayed in the summer, and because of the heat, I had to run the window air conditioning unit. It did its job in a rather noisy (but effective) way. Unfortunately, running the air conditioner made it uncomfortable to use the desk, because the air coming from the unit blows right in your face.
The common areas of the house are cluttered and messy, making it uncomfortable for guests to use these spaces. Is great if you are not OCD, and if you just need a place to sleep and a desk, and will go out to restaurants for meals.
