We did not meet our host, but all instructions were emailed so things were self-explanatory. The locks were coded and easy to use. It was very clean and orderly.

We had enough room for 4 people. Our first night we ordered in and it was a pleasure to sit around our own table, instead of in a noisy restaurant. We were glad to have this for our home base! Our guest from Ireland loved it and was happy to prepare her own breakfast and tea!

I would say the neighborhood was fine, not fancy. The street was up on a hill and was lined with larger houses. It seemed like the area has been improving lately. Down the hill was commercial, very near Northeastern University, which was our purpose for being there, and a 5 minute walk to a T stop.
