Location is great: you are within walking distance to two train stops, multiple restaurants, grocery stores, buses, Harvard Square, etc. The place is ok for what it is, but it will only surprise you in a negatively way. There are only plastic forks, no paper towels, one stainless steel knife. Beds are full size and aren't comfortable. The inside of the building stinks like ass. You can crash at this place and maybe grab a quick bite to eat; however, unless you are high, you probably would not want to stay there...Host was very communicative, we had no issues checking in. Area is very safe.
