  Generally good accommodation, but disappointed by owner's respon

  Left on 06/17/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  We stayed in Unit 5 at 784 Tremont Street for 3 nights. The booking process was very smooth and the owner, Will, had been very good at communicating with us by email prior to our arrival, and he had given us a mobile number on which to contact him when we were in Boston.
  
  My sister, who made the reservation, had asked in an email to Will that the sofa bed be made up for our arrival. Will had replied indicating this was no problem and said he would ask the cleaners to make the bed up. The sofa bed was not made up when we got there, but we weren't too bothered as we didn't really mind doing it ourselves, plus a spare set of sheets had been supplied, which was the main thing. However, on unfolding the sofa bed, we discovered it had an air mattress that required inflating, and we could not locate the pump to do this. We sent a text and email to Will that evening. It was 2pm the next day before he got back to us, by email. Just before his email arrived, I had tried to call the mobile number he gave us but had to leave a message. By this time we had also discovered that the sheets that were supplied for the sofa bed were very worn and looked like they had not been laundered, as one had a large pen mark and some rather suspect looking dark stains on it.
  
  When Will replied regarding the sofa bed, he said that the he had asked the cleaners to make up the bed but that they had forgotten, "because no-one had ever asked for that before". He said that this was not a "hotel service" so it was not possible to send someone up to sort it out. He said he could come up and inflate the mattress if we wanted but that it was very easy. This it may have been, had we known where the pump was! I then texted him asking where the pump was, and I also told him about the dirty sheets and asked for clean ones. He replied saying the pump should be beside the sofa as that is where the cleaners leave it, and that someone would bring up clean sheets and leave them outside the apartment by 3pm. There was no apology for the dirty linen.
  
  The pump for the air mattress was in fact fairly concealed Behind the sofa. Rather than a set of sheets, one sheet only was left outside the apartment.
  
  Another small matter was that a bulb was burst in a lamp in the bedroom, which we reported too but this was not fixed during our stay- Will said something in a text about how he would try to get someone to get a bulb, but it never appeared.
  
  My main issue here is with the slow response and then poor attitude of the owner to assisting us to rectify the issues we had with the apartment after our arrival in Boston. I think his responses to our queries after our arrival at the accommodation were abrupt and amounted to poor customer service. I would love to recommend the accommodation as it is generally of good quality and well located, but one wonders how or if the owner would respond if there was a more serious problem with the accommodation. Also, the impression I got was that the owner felt that his job was finished prior to us arriving, and once we arrived, he was no longer responsible for any issues during our stay.

  We stayed here 6 nights. We were able to walk everywhere from this South End property: Fenway park, Newberry Street and Prudential Center shopping, lots of restaurants in the South End and Boylston Street. Short walk to Mass ave transit station. The property was all newly renovated, very nice furnishings, very comfortable, completely stocked kitchen, all linens included-you don't have to bring anything. Very easy to communicate with owner. We were on 3rd floor, no elevator. Busy intersection, noisy with windows open.
