The room was cold in winter, most of the time it's around 66 degree. They check the radiator presure but only warm (around 70 degree) for 2-3 days then gets chilly again. The only exception is the extream cold days as they adjust the heating higher and it's warm, above 72 degree. So it is adjustable.
Whether it's clean or quiet depends on the roommate. The wall is thin and you can hear what your neighbors say.
The shower in the second floor doesn't have hot water, it only has very mild warm water, so I always go to the first floor bathroom to take a shower. That one works fine.
The laundry is not convenient. Although it's only a couple blocks away, but you are carrying a basket of clothes so even 6-7 minutes' walk with a lot of clothes is exhuasting. I went to the laundry once then prefer to handwash my clothes when possible.
The quality of bed and pillow is quite good. With this price, overall I think it's a decent place to live, within walking distance to MIT.
