Not knowing the standard of a suburb can make you a bit weary when booking. Fear not! Charleston is a great area! I even managed to find a great cafe less than 300 meters away. Sleeping was great, AC worked fine as we were hitting 100F some days this year. Christiane really cares about you. Bus 93 leaves from just outside, Dry cleaning/alterations available. Tram/Subway is available at Bunker Hill Community College. I recoomend you take the 93 bus to city, have breakfast at Starbucks on Park Street, and take a walk in Boston Common (park). A week pass was 15 bucks.
