This property was not what was represented when we committed. It was also likely in code violation. Online photos show an entirely different format of the furniture in the dining and seating areas adjacent to the kitchen, as well as the TV sitting area. The unit was now set up to sleep five people. They were only 3 cups, silverware for four, no towel paper or dish soap. The old venetian blinds did not work: one missing the rods for opening and closing the slats, the other one raised leaving the blinds out of 30 to 45° angle. The TV room had two windows one with and one without a shade. By far the worst issues are likely potential code and safety violations. Many of the baseboard heaters were missing coverings allowing exposed naked heating elements. An electric outlet in the kitchen was coming out of the wall. The outlet above and behind the stove was a duplex but non-functional, and only one of the two outlets were available. Floor tiles in the dining area were buckled and potential tripping hazards. No bathroom cups were present and one bathroom had a wall mount exposed with the holder missing. The TV uses a Google account which was in active. We were asked to download the Apple home app for which we had to create an account providing our personal information. This was an account we did not need or want. I did document all of this with photos. Having pay $1300 for the unit we received a text that someone would enter the unit to install air conditioners sometime between 9 AM and 5 PM. We asked not to be disturbed as we were to leave the next day. There was no acknowledgment of our request. The follow up was an apology that the work was not done for whatever reason. There are pros to this unit – the location is excellent for a short stay in Boston and there was good privacy for each of the bedrooms to be used by two couples. Steven was responsive to our prearrival requests. This unfortunately was our worst Airbnb experience to date having used the service in Australia New Delhi India Hawaii New York and elsewhere. It was a real disappointment that can be corrected. This was the consensus of all four of us that used the unit. Louis and Beth Livoti
This apartment is all about the location. And it has that. Serious maintenance is needed for the asking price. Some furniture was falling apart (the writing desk) and uncomfortable. The parquet floor was coming apart in large chunks. The temp inside the apartment was in the 80s despite repeated requests. It was difficult to sleep, let alone lounge or eat meals. The host told me to open the windows. I was told maintenance checked in, but nothing was done to curtail the heating, which was stifling. Window air units stored in the closets could have been reinstalled. We returned from this stay covered in bug bites from leaving the windows open. There are no window screens, which was problematic both because of the bugs and the 3rd-floor location, and kids in the apartment. To their credit, the hosts were very communicative and responsive, and the location is VERY walkable to the T, busses, restaurants, and sights. It's a great location that was ruined for us by faulty climate control.
This place was in a good location however the actual accommodation is old and worn. There seems to be very little effort to present the place or make the guests feel comfortable. We had cold showers most of the time. With some effort this place could present well but it just doesn't seem to be a priority. The add did say that it had recently been renovated, this is clearly not the case.
Condo was neglected and badly in need of repairs in every room. Loose floor tiles in the common area, water stains on the ceiling, burnt holes on the furniture and scorch marks on floor. The window in the common area was broken and couldn’t close. The paneling on the tub had caved in and the pedestal sink was loose and not secured. The floor heater covers were nearly all broken with the insulation exposed.
Needs maintenance and upgrading for what you are paying (and I do understand that Boston is an expensive city).
I will start with the Pros: location is amazing and very central, communication prior to stay and during was good. Cons: The apartment windows aren't properly sealed so there was a draft while we slept, the heating also couldn't cope with a Boston winter and we couldn't get the apartment above 60f (15c) even after having maintenance out to try and get it warmer. They didn't provide blankets either or a heater. We ended up leaving a night early as we couldn't face another cold night in the apartment. Then after we left I complained to the host and my messages went ignore. Friday and saturday night its also very loud with cars and music. I would say don't stay here in winter but for spring/summer/autumn it would a be a great stay.
Excellent location but run down interior with multiple missing/broken fixtures and window blinds. Terrifically dirty windows. Had problems with both toilets and host was very responsive but issues persisted. Chose the unit for its two bathrooms but one was usually out of commission with my poor husband working to fix it. Clean but very loud at night with window a/c units but thankfully comfortable linens and beds. Large living space. Could be great with some basic investment to upgrade bathrooms and fixtures.
