The location is steps from the subway line. The red line runs every 10 to 15 minutes and takes you straight to the main areas of boston. Our hostess was great! She gave us a code to let ourselves in and out so that we didnt feel constrained in any way. She gave us space in her fridge and permission to use her kitchen. We enjoyed our trip in Boston so much that we were out 12 hours a day anyway. The bed was super comfy, the bathroom was really nice and clean.
