This place is in a great location in Roslindale. I always felt safe. The bus stop is just across the street. There is a market close. Target is about a 8 min walk. There is a great family owned restaurant a couple of doors down called the Arboretum. The private space that you will have is nice because you will never feel closed in. The bed is very comfortable. There is a mini fridge in your room. There is plenty of closet space and shelves. I stayed Jan - April and since my room was at the front of the house it was often cold. It would have been nice to have a space heater. There are permanent residents above you. When they walk it sounds like elephants. Someone also plays an instrument any hour of day or night. The shared spaces are the bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom is a little outdated and could use renovation. There was no outlet to plug a blow dryer or curling irons. The kitchen was clean and I cooked often. The issue I had with the kitchen is there were not common kitchen items to use. For a short weekend stay it would be no big deal but I stayed 3 months. I had to ask for a can opener, forks, spoons and knifes and even then there were only 2 of each provided to share with the person renting the other room. There was no big pot, I had to go out and buy one. No mixing bowls or measuring cups or measuring spoons, no baking sheet. No dish towel to dry the dishes I had to buy one. There is no dishwasher. I always stayed with a Superhost when I book with Airbnb so I have been accustomed to having everything you could need so this was a little surprising. I had to ask for an iron. The host's mother lives there and is a sweet lady. She was helpful. The host was available for questions or concerns.
