Super convenient location and perfect for visiting Boston College which is a walk or short drive. The extra queen bed makes it easy for your student to stay overnight if you need it. The noise from the T didn't really bother me at night, but it may bother some. If you aren't able to climb a few flights of stairs with your luggage this won't be the right place for you, but we handled it fine. The kitchen was great for making meals and the island seats 4 comfortably. The building was quiet!
