Avoided phone call. Almost couldn't check in because the airbnb app wasn't working for some reason, the host wouldn't let me in if I wasn't texting through the app. Also I couldn't leave my pack somewhere which would have been no problem at all. It was a simple request and I would have been ready to even pay for it.
Location is good. Everything was clean and tidy but too expensive for what is offered, but this is just Boston propably
