We were looking for a centrally-located, no frills, budget-friendly space to rent for a few days and found it here. It is located a few blocks from the subway station, making it was so easy to maneuver around the city using public transportation. We were able to come directly from the airport so efficiently. We also zipped over to Boston Commons to the begin walking on the Freedom Trail. On another day, we took the subway to North Station to catch the Commuter Rail to Salem to see the witch museums.
While it was nice to have the subway so close, we also opted to walk around exploring the city and its charm by foot. I was here with my teenage nephew who was interested in visiting both Harvard and MIT. The house is the same distance between MIT and Harvard. It was a great walk that allowed us to get to know the city and see its many great restaurants, bakeries, and stores along the way.
As for the room itself, there are two beds -- a double and a single. Very basic set up with a dresser, a desk, a nightstand, and a fan on the first floor of the house, located beside the larger communal kitchen. You can hear people coming and going to and from the kitchen, however, using the provided oscillating fan drowns out all noise. We received restful sleep the nights we were there.
We had access to a full kitchen and dining room. The bathroom is located on the same floor. We were provided with clean towels for our stay. I found the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom to be very clean and well maintained.
The manager, Taskin, and his wife were great. Very responsive if you have questions, need advice, etc. My nephew and I enjoyed our stay here and recommend it.
