This place was a good value compared to local hotels. It was walkable to a lot and a short T ride to just about everything. Room had AC, fridge, hotplate and TV. Although it didn't have cable the host mentioned you could stream from your device. I am an IT professional and couldn't figure this out so we just watched TV on our laptops. The heat is centrally controlled but like I mentioned there is AC in the room which we were able to utilize to make the room comfortable. The shared bathroom was not an issue although we did have to wait a handful of times. Keep in mind this is a walkup so if you have elderly with stair challenges this place is not for you. Quiet neighborhood with good restaurants close by (check out mike & Patty's for breakfast). All in all it was a great trip and a good stay. I would stay here again on a trip to Boston.
