The pluses: the diverse beauty of this South Boston neighborhood. There is a Star Market with very helpful and courteous staff right around the corner, and the Central Avenue Station trolley stop is only a 5 minute walk away. You’ll need to hop onto this trolley to reach the Ashmount Red Line subway stop. As other reviewers have mentioned here, I also never felt unsafe making my daily trek Inbound Boston, even after dark. Karolina’s basement flat is spacious, fully appointed and modern with a secure digital keypad entry, like a smartphone. Very good value for money compared to Central Boston hotel rack rates, but with a caveat. She is a fabulous host and is quick to respond when problems arise. The negative: if you are a light sleeper as I am, you are not going to enjoy hearing every single footstep and conversation from the occupants directly above. Alas, it seems like the sub-flooring throughout this entire 3 level house is paper thin!
