Michael's place was perfect for my wife and I and our 16-year-old on a college tour. Walking close to Northeastern, BU and MIT and easy Uber or Subway to BC and Tufts. The Neighborhood had all you need without being too crowded. Great jazz bar across the street, cheap Italian and expensive Italian for dining, and a Dunkin Donuts and a fancy place for your caffeine needs. The place has a charming old style ambiance with a modern, functional overlay.
