John was a responsive and considerate host. The location of the house is amazing; you're a short walk away from groceries and convenience, and can take the red line into downtown just a few minutes away. The kitchen seemed well maintained and clean, although I didn't use it. The room is cozy, but it does get cold at night. I'm not sure if there is central heating, but it wasn't turned on yet and I woke up several times at night with chills. The bathroom left a bit to be desired - the shower nozzle was broken and the room had a noticeable smell to it. Still, if you're not fussy and need an accessible place close to the heart of Boston, John's place is a great budget option to consider.
