The house is in a great location and has off street parking. The kitchen has basic supplies, but I would not plan to do a lot of cooking. There a few maintenance issues that need to be addressed, but our party of seven had a good time.

Quaint basement bungalow

It is a very cozy basement apartment with tons of privacy. The only complaint was the lack of a second bathroom that was advertised. It was very clean with charming decorations and the bedrooms were spacious.

Used this location for our startup team's offsite meeting (3 adults). All and all the stay was good. Nice quiet neighborhood. Checking in was a little confusing since the original listing showed pictures of a separate apartment that i thought was included, but it wasnt. So that was a bit wonky. And there were some quarky things for 3 adults - one room had only twin beds. And there is no master. One small full bath off the kitchen, and then a full bath between 2 queen rooms. The neighborhood was cute, several walkable things, doordash and instacart availability. I would say this place is good size for smaller families - but note, the floors are creeky and there are apartments above and below, so if you are sensitive to those sounds, may not be place for you.

Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the neighborhood. That said, this unit is clearly designed for families, especially those with teenage kids, not for three unrelated adults expecting separate large-bed rooms. The listing shows the exact layout and sleeping arrangements, including twin beds, a sofa bed, and a futon this setup works very well for families, which is who typically books this space. This is also a 150-year-old Victorian home. Creaky floors and some sound transfer are part of that character, and most guests choose this property specifically because they appreciate that historic Boston feel. Regarding the photos, a few images of the basement apartment are included to show that additional space is available if needed, but it is offered separately at an extra cost. This is stated in the listing, and nothing is hidden. Overall, the home performs exactly as described. It’s simply a matter of choosing the right fit for your group’s needs.

Great little apartment!! Only thing I didn’t notice disclosed in listing was the sounds from upstairs. Not total shock being as it is in basement, but weekend nights seemed louder. I would suggest little things to have on hand, salt & pepper, and maybe 1 larger microwaveable cooking dish. Overall, recommend!!!

Dear Renee, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback, we appreciate your suggestions and recommendations. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the noise disturbance. Basement apartment is the lowest priced of all units despite it is new and two bedrooms with all modern bells and whistles. But noise insulation is weak and depending upon what kind of people we get upstairs it vary how the sound transmission is . Most vacationers do city tours during day and crash when they get home . So overall we got very seldom any noise complaints but people sensitive to noise must know this . We have disclosed this in listing and also communicated through messages Your suggestion on adding essentials such as salt & pepper, as well as a larger microwaveable cooking dish, is certainly appreciated and we will look into providing these items to improve our guest experience. We're glad to hear that you overall enjoyed your stay and thank you for your recommendation. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Priyanka
