Place is as described. It is conveniently located next to the Orange line which, believe me, you will use A LOT! That line takes you anywhere you need to be in Boston — with the exception of some connections you’ll need to make to other lines.
The place itself is as pictured. Even though it was a shared home, We felt as though we had the place to ourselves — our neighbors were mindful and quiet. It can get a bit loud outside as this place is right next to a local restaurant/store. We’re not really sure what it was. But it’s a very small place. We could hear people talking outside pretty loudly, but they were gone by 10pm almost every night. So it wasn’t anything major. The place was great for the price, but I might spend a bit more and stay closer to downtown next time.
