DO NOT STAY HERE! Especially in the winter in Boston. We chose this apartment because of the location - which is excellent next to Harvard Square and the river. To start with the worst - the temperature dropped in Boston winter and there was literally no insulation to heat the apartment. We were left wearing everything we could and using the very meager blankets available and were frozen. The apartment and the house it sits in is falling apart. We could overlook the horrendous entry, old everything, and awful beds - but the lack of heat made it feel unsafe to be there with our 2 small kids and horribly uncomfortable for the adults. We also had a very hard time getting a response from the host to get check in information. We’ve asked Airbnb to report this apartment as unsafe to rent. Let me repeat - DO NOT STAY HERE!
