This studio apartment was a great fit for me and could easily accommodate two people. But it is indeed small, so don’t plan to spend much time there really outside of sleeping and getting ready for your day.
It is located in a building with multiple “regular” apartments, but you indeed have your own place. The studio was remodeled recently and is nicely appointed, but it’s an older building in the NE, so there are some fun oddities about its design that you’ll discover.
The location is a 2-3 min walk to the MBTA Green Line (E) station as mentioned in the listing, and 1-2 mins from great local cafes and restaurants…including amazing coffee and donuts! If you have heavy or lots of luggage, take a Lyft or Uber, as the transit system can be busy and cumbersome to schlep baggage through. The location is -relatively- quiet but it’s not a suburban neighborhood, it’s still in Boston proper, so expect a bit of “the city”.
The host was quite communicative and was able to assist me getting some laundry done, although I needed help figuring out the coin-operated machines. ($4 to wash and dry per load, quarters only, supply your own detergent and softener.)
Overall a good and comfortable experience, especially if you just need something minimalistic and you’ll be “out and about” most of the time.
