The bnb is located about 6 stops by train out of the centre by metro..easy to do. The neighbourhood is working class but a great opportunity to experience another side of Boston.The accommodation is about 10 minutes away from the station by foot and there is supermarket next door to the station. For independent travellers it is an easy trip into the city. The accommodation was very comfortable and well suited for two couples travelling together. The kitchen living area was spacious and well appointed and we cooked dinner easily. There are two flights of fairly steep stairs inside the house but easily managed if you are reasonably mobile.There is no upmarket restaurants close but plenty of fast food outlets.The hosts were wonderful and went out of their way to give advice, organise a taxi ride to the rail station and were quick in responding to any needs.
