We loved it. Cute little place below street level in a very safe and nice neighborhood. Didn’t spend a ton of time there, basically just slept and watched some tv before going to bed. Great for the price and exactly what we were looking for. Hosts were very kind and accessible, but we didn’t reach out to them for too much. They gave us a very comprehensive guide for everything and included suggestions for our stay which is always welcome. Great place. Very appreciative to our hosts.

This is a great location in Southie! Walking distances to restaurants and shops, and easy into access into Boston. The accommodation is a little quirky - the bedroom is tiny but it's comfy and good sleeping. The bathroom is split with shower and good sink in one area and the toilet with a small sink in another. Took a minute to figure it all out, but for the price the quirkiness is easy to accept. The only real issue was the lack of a space for my suitcase to be laid out. I was a solo traveler to visit my daughter for a weekend. If my husband had joined it would have been tricky. I did find a place to hang clothes in the kitchen the day I was leaving. As I said, a tad quirky, but the price was right. Finally finding the alley was tricky. The address brings you to the front door of the house, but the entrance to this is behind the house via a small side walkway on the side street - you can't pull in with a car in the back alley - just FYI to fellow renters. I'd use it again for a quick visit.

First, the host was very nice and helpful throughout our stay, which we appreciated. The location was also great, with lots of walkable restaurants nearby. As a younger couple visiting Boston for the first time, it was a fun trip but the weather restricted some of the outdoor activities that we could have done. However, there were a few things that were different from what we expected based on the listing photos. The pictures are a bit deceiving, as the first exterior photo shows the main street-facing unit, which makes it seem like that is where you will be staying. In reality, the unit is located in the basement of that building and is only accessible through the back alley.Inside the unit, the ceilings are quite low, and we had to duck when entering. The bed is positioned wall-to-wall, which makes the space feel tight and leaves very little room for belongings.Parking was also somewhat difficult to navigate. While the neighborhood is very walkable, public parking ended up being about a 15-minute walk away, which wasn’t ideal during the winter season.The bathroom layout was unusual, with the toilet and shower in separate spaces. The shower room had a window without a curtain, which was visible from the outside, and the front door is mostly glass, making the interior visible from outside as well.Lastly, since the unit is in the basement, you can hear the tenants upstairs quite clearly. They weren’t intentionally loud, but we could hear most of their movements.
