Clean place. I am 5’ and female and felt pretty safe even coming home late in an Uber. I didn’t really explore the neighborhood because it was my first time in Boston so I wanted to do touristy stuff. I stayed in the wood island room which had a nice window that faced other people’s yards so again, totally safe. Bathroom and kitchen were clean and fellow guests were courteous. Hosts were very quick to answer any small questions and there is a lot of easy to read signs to guide guests.
