John's place was great. The location was just a 4 minute walk from the train station that only took 10 minutes to get to South Station. The room was great - plenty of space and really clean. Added touch was the room having its own Netflix account! The area seemed fine but we didn't walk anywhere other than the house to the train station and back, but this was a perfectly safe and short walk. I would recommend John's place to those wanting an affordable and nice trip to Boston!
