Overall a great stay. The bus stop is right in front of the house. It's about a 30 min bus ride to the subway station and about a 30 min subway ride from there to the center of Boston. There is a private entrance to the basement from the backyard. The stairs are pretty sketchy so if you have any mobility issues this is not a good fit. The only other issue we had was late night noise which sounded like stomping but was probably just normal walking around. Made it difficult to sleep some night. Otherwise, a good stay.
