This was a great spot for a weekend getaway. The location is perfect, centrally located. Minutes away from the central tube station to get anyway in the city. Walkable to great areas all around. We only took the subway to Cambridge for a day, everything else was walkable. The bar right below closes at 10pm, so noise is a non-issue if you plan on going to bed after that. Also depends on room location. Area felt safe, just a bus stop across the street that people would congregate at, but there are plenty of people walking around and the area is well lit. Plenty of food, coffee, bars all around. Would come here again for next Boston visit.
