We stayed for 12 days while we were performing at the Opera House in the theater district. This location could not have been more convenient - it was perfect for us. Nothing fancy, but fit all our needs. Some of the previous reviews mentioned smells and noise - we noticed smells in the hallway but not in the apartment and the noise was minimal. No fruit flies, but we did notice a few baby cockroaches crawling around the kitchen and bathroom sink. With a little caulk, this wouldn't be an issue. And as someone who's lived in older buildings in Boston before, this wasn't a big surprise. If anything, we expected worse. Would recommend it for anyone wanting a central location and no frills.

We had a terrible experience staying with Evonify. We weren’t given clear check in instructions, which had us waiting in the cold for around 20-30 minutes until we could access the building code. It was never disclosed to us that the airbnb was located in an apartment building filled with college aged students. We were kept up all night due to the noise and the smell of weed. We felt this information should have been provided before booking, as that would have stopped us from booking this particular place. We are not one to complain and have never had an issue booking an airbnb but this experience was by far the worst we have had. Don’t book here unless you are okay with zero sleep, the smell of smoke, and unclear check in and check out procedures.

This apartment was great for my mom & I’s annual getaway. If you’re planning on spending most of your time out in the city rather than in the apartment, this is a great option. The location was ideal for hopping around to different parts of Boston. Extremely close to the T and walkable to Boston Commons, Chinatown, etc. The apartment was very quiet, which is rare for a city. A couple downfalls: There were constantly fruit flies in the bathroom/kitchen, which we assumed were coming up from the drains. We could not get the air to blow cold in the smaller room no matter which way we turned the thermostat. Someone in a neighboring unit enjoyed smoking weed at night and the smell would come through the air vents. I also wish the unit was still painted as show in the photo. It was much more vibrant, now all the walls are painted the same. Every art piece was crooked, and the mirror in the bedroom was hung so low I had to bend down to see myself in it. All minor to me, overall nice stay!
