For the price and location, I don't think this can be beat. Greg and I did not cross paths, but check in was a breeze, one code for the main door, one code for your room, keypads are directly on the doors.
Keep in mind there are 4 rooms in the house that may all be rented out, but that was perfect for us, we got to meet nice people. We had seen the multiple listings and decided on the master bedroom for space, and we got what we wanted. Large room, AC that you can adjust on your own, TV if you need it, a desk... Bed is comfy too! Two bathrooms, but be prepared to plan your showers around those of others. For us, this was not a problem at all.
The house itself is squeaky clean and very, very well located given the price you pay for. For a quick comparaison, look at hotel prices online anywhere. There is a subway stop (orange line) across the street, that is a 60 second walk to access, frankly, what we thought was a very effective and reliable transit system. We took buses and the subway all 3 days without a single problem. Get the 7-day unlimited pass. We used it enough in 3 days to make it worth it. Best 22$ you'll spend. Downtown is 20 minutes away, tops. We got to Fenway Park via a direct bus in 15 minutes, same goes for Harvard. Basically, location alone makes this place worth it.
If you, like us, prefer to pack some lunches and eat breakfast at the house, there is a Stop & Shop that is a 5 minute bus ride from the house. You can also walk 2-3 blocks to get to a liquor store, Fuentes. You can even walk 20 minutes and be at the Museum of Fine Arts.
It was our first time in Boston and my girlfriend and I fell in love with the city, and choosing to stay at this place helped out quite a lot, I'm sure. Book with confidence!
