Overall, it was a nice and convenient place to stay for anyone looking for a simple room with a bed and desk for the night but cleanliness and quiet will vary depending on the others staying in the building with you.
You're provided with a simple, private, air-conditioned room in a nice, quiet neighbourhood that's within a convenient walking distance of the subway to take you to MIT/Harvard in Cambridge or downtown Boston. It's also a short distance to either areas via Uber/taxis. Place was as described and check-in instructions was simple and straightforward. There's a nice luggage storage area for if you arrive early.
You'll likely be sharing the building with up to 10-13 at a time as there are 7 private, key-padded locked rooms in the 3 story building that are all being rented out. There's a mini fridge, a microwave, and a regularly refilled water cooler provided on the 3rd floor of the building that will be shared by all the residents of the building. Other than that, you're provided with one towel for each individual to last during the duration of your stay. For anything else, such as toiletries you'll have to buy or bring or buy yourself.
The main downside of the place is the communal bathrooms. There are 2 bathrooms, one on the 1st floor, and one on the 2nd floor. The one on the 2nd floor is likely shared between the 4-5 rooms of the 2nd and 3rd floor residents/visitors so there may sometimes be a bit of a wait to use it and cleanliness will vary depending on time of day you use it and the other residents staying in the building at the time. There's a cleaner that comes early in the morning once a day to clean the bathrooms and the vacated rooms.
