The room is very accurate to the description and it was very clean. We were a short walk from the train, but it definitely adds time to commute to the main part of Boston. There isn't much to eat in the area, there aren't many options if you have dietary restrictions. In regards to the housing situation, I lucked out and had a cool set of gals that I became friends with. The downside was that I could hear my neighbors through the wall in my room.
The kitchen had all of the amenities, water, coffee, tea and utensils. I could've used the kitchen, but I didn't end up using it. It was super safe even though it was a shared house because we all had locks on our doors.
It was only as awkward as one would think a living space would be with different people. Taking turns using the bathroom, making sure that we don't make too much noise, and everything in between. You know what you are signing up for when you book!
