For a hostel type home, it was adequate. I was unsure at first because I arrived late at night, but in the daylight it had much more charm. It was quiet while I was there, but there are 8 other rooms in this home, so the noise level could probably easily change based on who else is staying. All needed basic amenities are there. The A/C window unit kept the small room moderately cool, but luckily isn't needed most of the time in Boston, but be cautious if you're staying in the peak heat of the summer. Also, the showed caused everything to smell musty and I felt like the entire house smelled like cat litter. However, the bed, pillows, and bedding were very comfortable!
