Lovely neighborhood, in walking distance to UMass Boston, which was the purpose of my trip. There were also restaurants in easy walking distance. Great location and beautiful old house. The room was large and clean, but right next to the main entrance for the house. If you go to bed early and/or are a light sleeper, bring earplugs or a white noise maker to block out the sounds of people coming into the house in the evening. I am an early riser and was very happy to have the keureg coffee maker available, right near my room, to make my coffee before anyone else arose.
