This is a great home in a wonderful location. As a family of 5 we appreciated the space and the location where we could easily get coffee/breakfast, visit some universities and relax a bit. We loved the decor and the showers were great! The home has many stairs which was not an issue for us - but could be for others. The noise from the pub was not a problem for my family - but if your very sensitive to sounds (small kids?) stay in the upper level bedrooms. If we are in Boston in the future we will come back for sure!
