Great location and wonderful host. This is a private bed room located on a floor with one other bedroom with shared bathroom, kitchenette. It is in a traditional older Boston south end neighborhood in a 3 story house and the location is terrific. It is steps from the metro station and walking distance to the beach. Because of the proximity to the water, there is a nice sea breeze which is especially nice in the evenings sitting on the front porch. During our stay, Boston was in the middle of a heat wave, but the room had fans and AC unit and it cooled off nicely at night with sea breeze. This is an ideal place to stay for anyone who needs a reasonably priced, safe, clean lodging in Boston. It was convenient to get to the convention center by metro or even by walking. But by far the best thing is the hostess, Manuela. She is kind, flexible, generous, and very warmhearted. We arrived late the first day and she kindly stayed up to welcome us personally. Then she provided bottled water and even vitamins to us, knowing we just arrived after long plane ride. So if you need a safe, reasonably priced, convenient place to stay in Boston, with the bonus of a wonderful host, look no further. Thank you, Manuela!
