My stay at Mark’s place was amazing. As a female solo traveller, security is very important to me. I was hesitant on booking a room in a shared common area, but the doors in Mark’s place have a lock that you can control through an app on your phone, putting the control of security at the guests fingertips. The room was spotless and had a smart tv with access to netflix and cable. There was even a binder with more information about the place including the wifi code and policies on bathrooms and laundry. The closest subway is the green line a few miles away, so definitely a walk, but not too bad. Plus, the Charles River looks beautiful in the morning. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are around the corner, and theres a cute little pizza place in that area as well. The community seems to be home to alot of families, so walking around the neighborhood at night felt safe. I would 100% stay here again.
