Perfect for the low maintenance solo traveler. Only a 15-20 minute walk to the main convention center on Summer Street, straight up D street. Southie is undergoing steady renewal and can easily meet your basic travel needs. Broadway has plenty of food options. Albert was a great host and actually went out of his way to show me a little of Southie by car on my last day in town. Nice enough as well to drop me at the airport shuttle stop. His roommates were very quiet and their dogs were friendly and outgoing towards me. Any "barking issues" were short lived. No issues with the shared bathroom. This is a basic and small room as per the picture. For a quiet evening Whiskey, Head to the Clock Tavern on Broadway east of D street. I didn't need it, but the basement laundry has full sized machines. This is a row house, so no yard, but The Dorchester Heights monument park is a short walk away. I would stay here again if traveling solo to Boston. Space would not work well for two people as Albert is up front about. Slightly off the beaten path, but the best travel values always are.
