It's a historic old house that's been wonderfully restored. As a prior review said, you can hear noises from above floor (guests who were there when we were seemed to flush the toilet a lot). The hosts do provide ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. It was great having street parking available. The location is a bit further out so allow extra time if driving around Boston, especially with construction in the summer months. There's a T station nearby so that's an option. Overall, the Boiler Room is very nice, spacious and well designed.
