The Room: This bedroom is one of the smaller in the house, but large enough for a single person. There is a single bed, nice hinge-down writing desk, and a three-foot wide bureau with hangers above and drawers at the bottom. There is a locked door to the adjacent bedroom.
The House: This refurbished Victorian is a destination itself. Tall ceilings, beautiful woodwork and solid wood floors, full bath on first and second floor , kitchen large enough to hold a party. Quiet heat in the winter, central air conditioning for the summer. You do not hear traffic noise from the major streets. Laundry is in the basement. The house is very clean.
The Neighborhood: the area is a mix of wonderful old homes, new construction, and brick apartments. Great bus access to wherever you are going. The 45 bus on Blue Hill Ave, half a block away, runs about every 20 minutes and can take you to the Ruggles train stop or, opposite direction, to the Grove Hall intersection which has a Stop and Shop grocery, CVS pharmacy, library, and post office. Warren Street, 2 blocks away, has multiple bus lines running to Ruggles. A block away there is a small Pollo (chicken) restaurant and a few blocks towards Dudley is a small Caribbean restaurant (El Caribeno). And this being Boston there is a small convenience store or grocery on nearly every corner. I had good experiences with everyone I met in the neighborhood.
