You’re probably looking at this place because it’s one of the cheapest in Boston, right? Here’s what you should probably know to decide if it’s worth it for you:
1) It’s right across from a T stop so transportation is easy.
2) The neighborhood hasn’t been fully gentrified (yet) so people’s reviews about a sketchy neighborhood probably should have just said don’t be an idiot at night.
3) It’s an old house in South Boston so don’t make the mistake I did - keep your food in the fridge so a mouse doesn’t eat it.
4) The bed is so soft it’s nearly a black hole, but that’s fine if you like soft mattresses.
5) The bathroom isn’t cleaned every day, so its cleanliness depends on the other guests.
