All in all, this was a fine stay. We booked a room at this place and were redirected to a different building/house a block or so over. The room was quite different than the one we booked—much smaller. The place was clean, seemed safe, was easy to access, had some bread, milk, and pbj in the fridge along with a Keurig with tasty coffee, and some cereals. A grab and go more than a Bed & Breakfast as advertised, but we weren’t mad about it. Hit the spot. Bed and pillows were comfy. Cons-guests were allowed to check in pretty late and were quite loud about it. Since parking directions were for the listed address and not the one we were sent to, parking was unclear. When I asked the host if a space we found at the end of the lane was guest parking (it wasn’t marked), he wrote back that he didn’t know and told me I could rent the garage for $20. The listening said we were only to park in the street, but the entire street had “No Parking” signs and tow-away zones. Didn’t understand how he didn’t know the parking situation for the house he sent us to or why we were sent somewhere we didn’t book in the first place.
Room we got. (Ignore the chaos of unloading!)

Please note that this is a very long review. Key summary is that the host is extremely inappropriate, unprofessional, egotistical, and condescending. It is not worth the stay. Also, look at how he replies to negative reviews and how he reply to some 8/10 reviews. It shows that his character lacks professionalism, customer service skills, emotional regulation, ability to accept feedback, and appropriateness. Please read for greater details - it is definitely a rant on the treatment/response he had to my feedback about the check in process. The host didn’t like the review I gave about check in because I reached out on all numbers provided at 7am and didn’t receive a reply until around 1pm. He believes he did enough by sending the instructions prior to check in but the issue wasn’t the instructions per se, it was the lack of communication. As a traveler, I will like to know how the check in process is and what needs to be done especially since there is no front desk. As a result of him not liking the feedback, he decided to cancel the reservation when I still had a night left. I had just worked an over night shift and had another coming up. Thankfully, I was able to find a new hotel. However, some might not be able to do that and it can be detrimental to them. It was completely unprofessional and inappropriate to react that way. He is free to try and gain an understanding on the feedback, but to react that ways show lack of hospitality Please check photos for full review

THIS IS ONE OF THE SKETCHIEST PLACES I’VE STAYED IN. THE OWNER HAS AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING DEVICES IN ALL CORNERS OF THE APARTMENT. THE OWNER IS CREEPY, MAKES INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN OR WHAT HE PERCEIVES YOU LIKE TO DO TO WOMEN SEXUALLY, AND WILL NOT LET YOU IN WITHOUT TAKING PICTURES OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF YOUR ID. I ENCOUNTERED A ROOM THAT WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING TWO BEDS AND ONLY HAD ONE. THE BED IS HARD AS A ROCK AND THE BLANKET WAS CONFIRMED POSITIVE FOR BODILY FLUID STAINS. IF YOU THINK THIS HOUSE IS IN BOSTON BASED ON THE LISTING DESCRIPTION, IT IS NOT! IT IS ACTUALLY IN A HIGH CRIME SECTION OF DORCHESTER, MA! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CLEAN, SAFE AND HOSPITABLE ACCOMODATION, DO NOT STAY HERE!

We found this very convenient and safe. Parking is hit or miss. We were in room 7. We had towels but no wash cloths. We did not ask for any though. There is no dresser or storage. There is a close let but no hanging rod. There is no bench to put luggage so everything must go on the floor. There is a small desk and chair along with a side table. The common area has a high top table and 6 chairs available. The kitchen is nice and some food staples are available. That was an amazing surprise.

Each room or resident needs a hand towel instead of 7 people sharing one, with one bathroom! I was told we could arrive at 9:30 am and then the owner argued that I was told 10 am. (I wrote it down) He also said he lives in this building. Obviously not by the guests downstairs.

Not too great. This place is advertised as B&B which is not really true. There's a bottle of water and a snack bar. The notes you receive after booking even says it's not actually a B&B, so why claim it in the property description? I'd suggest to the owner that they make the check in more user friendly. There's a very long (2,400 word) rant that you will receive upon booking, with dozens of rules. I'm not sure whether it mentions that there's no shower, just a 4x8 tub where you can spray water on yourself. Oh, and there's ONE queen bed (for two people).

We stayed for a few nights. This was my first time staying at a homestay, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was a little nervous, but I was very pleasantly surprised and had no issues. We weren't in the house a ton because we were out and about most of the time. It was more than sufficient for sleeping and showering. The host was friendly. The rules were pretty clearly communicated and seemed reasonable. The location was great, nice neighborhood and very convenient for getting to areas, restaurants/shops, and the airport. There were a lot of nice little touches, a couple options of shampoo, a granola bar and bottled water in the room, etc. Everything was very clean. We got into town a couple hours before check-in time, and the host was very accommodating and was willing to let us stay in the living room area until the bedroom was cleaned and ready. Overall, I was very pleased with the stay.

After making a booking mistake that couldn’t be fixed through Hotels.com, the owner was super helpful and polite to me, and helped me resolve the issue. He went really above and beyond for us. The shared kitchen is nice, with a stove, oven, fridge, toaster, blender, and microwave! He also provides cereal and PB&J materials for free, which was a nice touch. It was all super clean, and excellent for the price. Thank you for making our stay in Boston so much more affordable!!
