This place is much more than a private room! Your space itself is locked by an electronic key code, which was an unexpected touch. Plus, you'll have a little kitchenette with a microwave and fridge (plus some awesome ramen left by the hosts!), making it into basically a hotel room in someone's home. We never once saw anyone else in the house and had access to the main kitchen. So, it really was excellent value compared to booking an entire place or an expensive hotel room in Boston. The house is not extremely close to a subway stop, so we generally ubered everywhere we had to go, but everything was a quick trip.
