Hermina was a gracious host. The room was large and clean with a comfortable queen bed. The house is next to the police parking lot so it is very safe and quiet. The neighborhood is nothing to write home about, but it is only a block to the T and we spent all of our time in Boston central. It was a convenient and affordable place to spend the night. McDonald's, a market and liquor store are just around corner. We didn't eat in neighborhood so no comment on food availability. This was our first airbnb experience. The shared bathroom was something we personally would avoid in the future. I felt the room was a good value for Boston.
