The house was in the middle of a quiet residential area in Roxbury, a classical American New England architecture neighborhood. My room was spacious with high ceiling and the apartment was clean and well-organized. Everything was just as described in the listing and Youtube videos. Two supermarkets and a small shopping area were just across the main street. It took less than 30 minutes to reach downtown on public transit. I used to walk to Jackson Square and it took me 15 minutes. A bus stop was within two minute walk and the buses came quite frequently, going to Dudley Station and Ruggles Station etc. Easy street parking was a huge plus for me. Other housemates were friendly and courteous. Many of them were in academia, particularly in the medical field, so there is a comfortable environment. I didn't get to meet all of them for a while until the host invited everyone for a dinner. They were mostly long-term. I totally recommend this house for its clean and safe environment and its easy commute to downtown. Huggy, the host, was really nice, responsible and helpful. He has enough experience as a host and can help you to get orientated in the city. Thank you Huggy and I wish you the best! Hope to see you again when I come back to Boston.
