The picture looks exactly like the room. I did come with a ton of luggage so if you are catching the subway then you may want to call a cab/uber/lyft from the Roxbury station. If not, then the walk is not bad at all. There are stairs up to the brownstone (as they all have), so to get in the room you will have taken 3 flights of stairs. The great thing was that Jonathan must've seen me carrying my luggage one by one because he got there when I made it up to the first landing....he came and helped me carry. Note to self: pack lighter! He also helped me carry when I left. I'm from Hawaii so the buildings and neighborhood is so different from my state and I loved walking around. I only stayed for one night, supposed to be two, but my flight changed. I walked to TGI Fridays to eat since the one in Hawaii closed many of years ago. Mmmm tastes exactly like I remembered. This is a cute neighborhood and if you are here to stay in a cute, clean, safe place this is it. Jonathan is very organized and has a place for you to keep your shoes, food, toiletries. He also has some extras for you if you want bananas, milk, beer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. My room had a shared bathroom. The house was full, but I didn't run into anyone at all. If you need anything, he is easy to contact. I loved this place and I am definitely coming back again.
