Zen house was super clean and quite. It was spacious and there was alot of closet space. However, from reading the reviews I thought it was really close to the city but my husband and I felt like it was quite far. If you are there for conferences or seminar in Harvard it is a perfect location but if you are visiting Boston for the first time and want to do more touristy things just know that you have to walk about 15-20minutes to get to the train station. Also, there are no stores or shops near by so you would have to go to the gas station.
