The room and the shared bathroom are both quite small, but that was expected. The unit is in an old townhouse, which overlooks the Mass Pike. The highway is noisy as are the comings and goings of the other tenants. The first night I was there the power went off in my room, killing the A/C, which was canceling out some of the noise. When the circuit breaker was reset the next morning I was careful not to use the A/C again and just used the fan, which masked the sound somewhat. The unit is very convenient to the Back Bay, including the Boston Garden, Boylston Street, etc. The communication with the property managers was good, except they do make clear they do not respond to texts past a certain time. I would recommend this building for people seeking a low-cost opportunity, but not in this particular room unless you are prepared to handle the noise.
