The room was acceptable, if not spectacular. The biggest pros were the location - the house is in a really nice neighborhood, just a 5 minute walk from the Porter Square T Station, making it easy to get downtown in 20 minutes - and the codes used to access the house and the room, making it easy to come and go whenever. I didn't really use the kitchen, but it looked decent. The drawbacks were things I should have expected based on the listing. It somewhat felt like a college dorm since the house seems to be filled with rooms rented out separately on AirBnB. From my room, if the downstairs dryer was going, people were talking or playing music in the downstairs hall / bathroom, or people were walking in the kitchen on the main floor, that all was quite loud. There were also more 'house noises' than I expected, which startled me several times. The room also had a worn feel to it. Not necessarily dirty (except for hard to clean spots like the bottom of the desk chair and edge of the baseboard), but there were scuff marks on the walls, etc. Overall, it was convenient and sufficient for my stay, but I probably wouldn't stay there again.
