the place is great if you want to spend a few days there, you're allow to cook there but if you cooked some meals that have a strong smell they will say that you must stop, in one situation he was very rude because he was having problems with one of the guests, the room smells like cigarettes most of the time because of the neighbors, the room is bigger enough for two guests. everything is ok if you "follow the rules" anyways is really close to the UMASSJFK station, there are so many convince stores near to the place and it is easy to get there.
