Cons:
The issues began as soon as we arrived. Another couple stood outside with blank expressions, just as confused as we were. After several attempts someone finally picked up our call— to repeatedly say they had sent “several” app‑based messages, later they sent a whatsapp message with detials.
As travelers, it’s unrealistic to expect visitors to download multiple apps, have stable network access, read instructions, and then open doors using codes. The other couple also had phone problems after flying in from the Southwest. This homestay relies entirely on cameras, apps, and codes; anyone unfamiliar with that setup will feel completely lost.
Pros:
The location is close to central Boston, quiet, clean, and includes parking.
