The house is comprised of three levels - the first level only includes access to a small entryway to leave coats and shoes, the second level contains the two bedrooms and the bathroom, all the living space is in the attic-like third floor. We enjoyed it very much. The top floor is a big room with a kitchen, eating table and couch and tv.
We did have a car and were always able to locate a parking spot - sometimes right in front of the house and other times just a bit down the street. The park across the street is very nice - playground and baseball field.
We also used public transit and found it easy to walk to and from the Jackson Street subway stop to get to and from downtown Boston.
Great location, great house.
