Great location, very clean, excellent value if you don't mind sharing an apartment with several other people. The other guests who were staying there at the time and sharing the kitchen, bathroom, and common area (about six other people I think) were luckily very considerate and quiet, which was important because the bedroom door is extremely thin and lets sound through easily. The apartment is in great shape--seems recently renovated with new furniture and fixtures. There's quite a bit of traffic noise and the AC unit was noisy too, but it didn't bother us too much. The neighborhood seemed safe and it's fabulous being so close to the subway (blue line) stop and to the airport. When you take the blue line inbound, it takes you to the airport or downtown in no time; if you take it outbound, it takes you to Revere Beach, which is very nice. As for parking, be aware that if you need parking during the day (before 4pm), you have to walk several blocks to a block where there's free all-day parking on the street. If you only need overnight parking (after 4pm), there's a much closer place where you can park, if you can find a spot. Most streets around there require a resident parking permit.
