The location is very easy to have access to the busline and T, which makes coming and going pretty smooth. The redline takes you to many of the places people want to see in Boston. The owner is communicative and knowledgable, and offered suggestions that were not in my guidebooks and I would not have known about. His place offers a great alternative to an expensive hotel / motel stay, which allowed me to stay in Boston longer than I would have been able to in a regular motel or hotel.
