Boston is a walking city. Shannon does not have any guaranteed parking, so renting a car is not feasible. You are several blocks from the main bus that takes you into town. The bus ride is about 15-20 minutes. Your room faces the street/sidewalk. If you want to go to other suburbs, know that you will have to take the bus into town and then transfer. Ensure that you are the only people in the condo during your stay. We were forced to cut our stay with Shannon short (and move to a more expensive hotel) due to additional people staying with her. Her dog is sweet.
