Skyrise Two Stories - Spacious for Friends & Family

Need to climb 33 steps to get in the unit. The kitchen is a nightmare, beat up chipped counters, disgusting rusty and stained cookware, 2 of the 3 outlets don’t work. The blinds throughout the place are either broken or missing. I do not recommend having a car here. The parking situation is terrible, You can park on the incredibly busy street during the day (if you find a spot) then at precisely 8 PM you have to move to a parking lot 10 minutes away. It has to be at or after 8PM to use the kiosk for payment for overnight parking. Not 7:45 PM, so that screws up any evening plans. The air conditioning is not adequate. Window units in the bedrooms work fine, but the portable unit in the living room was noisy and wouldn’t cool the space, and it wasn’t even that hot outside in September.Even though other reviews mention that the owner responds quickly, I sent numerous texts and messages through VRBO that were not responded to. Finally heard back on day 2 and the host response was patronizing, stating every other reviewer thought it was great. A tall person cannot be in the upstairs bedrooms. Low ceilings and very low showerhead made it uncomfortable to say the least. The shower rod downstairs was crusted in rust. On the plus side, it is a short walk to the T train to downtown Boston. I don’t understand the previous reviewers giving it high marks.

Location for us was a plus for this particular trip. While we were just three of us, this would be lots of room for a large group.

The location is very good, close to the train station. You can hear traffic noise from outside early in the morning, and there is a lot of light coming in because the windows don't have blackout curtains. It doesn't have a garden, as mentioned in the description. There were 8 of us, and the space was okay. The place was clean, and the host was always very friendly.

Cute place & close to places.

Positive: Conveniently located, the host were very involved in making us feel comfortable and asking us if there’s anything more than they can do, really refreshing
