This is a great place to stay if you want to be on the Red Line and can handle walking the stairs down to the apartment and the walk downhill to the T. [Remember you will have to walk uphill after spending the day walking around Boston. ;) ]The hosts Jorge and Justin are super quick to respond to any questions. They were away during our visit, but check in was easy. We were able to park our rental car on the street a few doors down from the house (we arrived ~3 pm) and we left it there for the weekend. Parking tends to get more scarce as people arrive home from work. The bathroom is very clean...and they have nicer, fluffier towels than the DoubleTree I had just come from! Bring some slippers or socks as the floors are chilly. I slept on the sofa (which converts to a bed) and my friend slept on the bed. We were both comfortable. If you are very tall, you may have to sleep diagonally on the sofabed. I'm 5'2" and so was able to stretch out and still fit. Then in the morning, just get up, jump on the red line and go! We loved the breakfast spots of "Flour Bakery & Café" and "Tatte Bakery & Café". Both have multiple locations in Boston. After spending the day in town, there were 2 of us walking back from the T stop late at night, so we felt safe. Not sure if a female would feel comfortable coming back late alone from the T. You should be fine if you are city smart. Overall, it's a great place to call home base for a weekend in Boston.
