We were pleasantly surprised by our stay here. It was clean and cozy, we did share the house with a few other people but only saw them once and barely heard them at all. If you're looking to go into the heart of boston it's about a 45 minute trip by public transportation but still worth it to be in the quiet neighborhood. The only downside was sharing the one bathroom but we knew that while booking and the shower schedule made it easy to make sure you have enough time to get ready for your day.
