It was a nice and clean, private room in a house in South Boston. In total, there are three or four rooms the family gives away to Airbnb guests. You share two bathrooms - there are little notes pinned in almost every corner, so that instantly know how the landlords image you to use the house.
The signs for fake or true security cameras where a bit concerning for me (maybe because I'm not use to these things) so that I was not totally sure how safe the area is. I never met Anne in person and I didn't email her to ask about the neighborhood, but just decided to come back to the flat before the dark.
The location was perfect for what I needed - after a little walk you have direct access to the red metro line which takes you to South Station and Cambridge. There is also a bike station, where you can rent bikes, close to the house.
For me it was a very good solution, because I didn't mind going 20 minutes by metro to the city center and payed less for a private room than I would have paid for a shared room in hostel closer to the city center.
It was confi and clean, good internet connection and communication with Anne.
