We stayed 5 nights at this place. Upon entering the building using a numerical pin (no need to carry a key), there are about 15-20 stairs going up to the second level (not a problem for us at all). The room and bathroom was extremely clean and exactly as described. The shared kitchen was very clean as well. The room is equipped with towels, mini fridge, and a TV with Netflix. This location was ideal, for the price, to get to and from the city. During our stay we traveled to downtown Boston by using the blue bikes, approx 20-30 minute ride to city (blue bike station approx 4 minute walk from room). We chose to Uber back to the room at night, every night (we paid around $15 + tip for every trip home from the city). Many locals, including Uber drivers, mentioned this is not the safest area in Boston. However, because we ubered back at night, we felt safe and comfortable during our stay. We ran into john a couple times during our stay, cleaning the shared areas. He was very welcoming, friendly, and made sure everything was going ok for us during our stay.
