This is a dormitory-style rental with shared bathroom just like in the description. Great value for the price. Although you may want to bring earplug if you're a light sleeper since all the rooms are basically next to each other and you might hear door unlocking/opening/closing at any hour. It's within walking distance to porter square station and target. I wasn't aware that street parking is permit-only and the host only has 2 permits to offer at $20/night, so I had to drive a mile or so down mass ave to find metered parking. Having to feed the meter every 2 hours and waking up to move my car before 8 am was not fun. So if you have a car make sure to either pay for the permit or have a plan. Great value anyhow.
