This was a great place for us to stay while my partner came to Boston for a 2 week conference! Of course it's a shared flat and very much feels like what it's like to live in Boston because most apartments here have many roommates with shared bathrooms. It's close to amazing Vietnamese restaurants and the bus picked up right on the corner. The area of town is a little noisy and busy so you'll hear it during the day but if you're visiting, you probably won't be home much anyways!
