We chose this because it was close to where our NEU student was living. It was lovely -- a tiny conclave of historic rowhouses tucked away off the main road -- beautifully renovated and decorated, cozy yet roomy, quiet, private, and well-equipped. It was convenient to the T, but we preferred walking along the southwest corridor over to Northeastern - 20 minutes or so to main campus. Felt very safe day and night. No coffee or shops in the immediate neighborhood, so you'd want to bring along your own snacks and a bottle of wine. Great kitchen! We'd definitely stay here again.
