My host was nice enough to meet me so I could check in a little early which I really appreciated! We mostly stayed out of each other's way, but she was friendly and answered all my questions. The neighborhood was great, and its really close to both a green line and orange line T-stop, as well as a bus that takes you to Cambridge. Fair warning, there are a lot of stairs! This place was perfect for what I needed and made my stay in Boston a great one. I was very comfortable. It isn't super fancy or hotel-like, it is splitting space in a student apartment, so if that fits what your looking for, you won't be disappointed!
