As a solo female traveler, I thought this was the perfect little place to stay in Boston. Nice enough to walk for a bite to eat / get coffee, and just down the street from sl4/5 to downtown. So you have easy access to everything, without the anxiety of being at the heart of it all 24/7.
Construction was happening, but waking up to construction was better than the night I spent unable to sleep with the sounds of staying downtown. It definitely wasn't unbearable / enough to affect my stay, and I would stay here again.
