The 2nd floor of the house worked out perfectly for us on our visit to Boston. The spacious living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms gave the six of us plenty of room to relax after long days of touring Boston. The shared kitchen was well-appointed and we actually enjoyed meeting the others staying in the house when using the kitchen. The walk to either the JFK/Umass or the Savin Hill stations on the Red Line is about 12 minutes, and you pass some great food options along the Savin Hill route.
