The house is rather old and had not been updated. I found it a bit inconvenient to get into the Boston area, as you need to take a bus to the trains. While the trains are excellent - the buses are not. So a few times I had to take a cab - cost $28 to get into Boston. The parking is good, and in a safe neighborhood though, and otherwise it is pretty basic. So if you know this going in - it could work for you.
