I had a great stay at Roberts. As other reviewers have noted, he is friendly but respectful of your space. I have lived in several neighborhoods in Boston and the surrounding areas - Beacon Hill, South End, Jamaica Plain, Charlestown, Cambridge and Brookline - and recently have stayed in several hotels. I was moving back to Boston and needed a short term stay. I pursued AirBnB options in Beacon Hill, South End, Back Bay, JP and Brookline, and found Robert's to be a great value for the quality and price. The stay lived up to expectations. Very quiet, comfortable bed, street with character and the orange line is very convenient. 20 minutes to the Back Bay station.
