The room is a well remodeled, clean, and modern basement room. It can be considered a nicely lit room; however, with the blinds open, one would give up privacy as the windows look out to the walk-way at street level. Convenient public transportation to Boston was limited to the commuter rail line which is a solid brisk 8 minute walk traversing over the freeway. From there, the journey takes about 16 minutes to South Station. The commuter rail line is not to be confused with the MBTA Subway, which runs more frequently. There were not many places to eat near the house. So, I ate in Boston before heading back to the room to sleep. I needed to plan a good hour to make it from the house to my conference in Boston.
