Great location, very walkable distance to Stony Brook Station. Not too far from the Egleston Square bluebike station either and it's very possible to bike downtown if that's your jam. Lots of nice coffee shops in the area. Nearest laundromat is temporarily closed for remodelling though so current closest laundromat is a 15 min or so walk or train. Walked around neighborhood both during the day and past midnight, did not feel unsafe at all.
Bed was decently sized and comfortable. The large room with lots of closet space was extremely convenient. All facilities worked well, including the restroom/bath and microwave. Did not cook so cannot vouch for the kitchen.
Host was nice, and had free bottled water available that was extreme convenient.
Worth the price and had a wonderful experience staying there. Would strongly consider staying there next time in Boston.
