This is such a nice and comfortable place to stay. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. One thing I wish the place had was specified bins for recycling and trash.
The only other downside (and this is not BJ and Kirsten’s fault) is that the location isn’t as quickly accessible to the city center through a direct line on public transit. We had to Lyft to metro stations or into the city center and then take public transit from there. So if you really don’t want to have to depend on Lyft at all during your stay, then that would be my only reservation about staying here. Even though this is close to the red line, you need to take the bus to transfer to other metro lines and the buses in Boston in general aren’t good. At the same time, I wish we had more time to actually explore Dorchester (Franklin Park, the mills, etc.) because we spent most of our 4 days exploring the city center. Overall, this was a great place to come home to every day after a long day of sightseeing!
