The apartment worked well for our needs. We loved the location, as it was an 8 minute walk to the T, and a 5 minute walk to Whole Foods. As other reviewers have noted, it's not a super clean place. There were crumbs on the furniture when we arrived, and the walls were a bit stained. We wanted to eat in for a few meals, but we had to get creative when it came to oil, salt, and pepper (Whole Foods salad bar, and McDonalds salt and pepper packets, respectively).

I usually hear from hosts a few days before a trip to let me know details, like key and parking information. I hadn't heard anything from Steven a day out, but he was quick to respond when I asked him questions.

Overall, everything was fine. Not the best airbnb experience I've had, but also not the worst it could be.
