Great value if you're a student visiting Harvard or MIT. Rosalind's is pretty close to both campuses as well as public transport, if you feel you don't want to walk. There are plenty of grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops. The room itself has old fittings, old carpeting and a very simple bed. However, everything works more than fine and I was comfortable. It is ideal to launch out from, perhaps not to spend your whole day in though. The room is on the top floor so it got quite hot in the natural course of things, however the AC worked well and cooled the room down pretty quickly. There is also a large window to allow a breeze in. Hosts stay in the same house, but in a different section and largely you won't run into them during the day. When you do chat - we spoke at the beginning when Rosalind gave me the details about how everything worked, she was super friendly and an excellent communicator. I really enjoyed my stay and would probably stay there again.
