Close proximity to Porter Square (T station redline, grocery store), access to living room and kitchen (spacious, shared w other guests, need to keep in mind noise that will carry into bedrooms). There are 9 bedrooms across 3 floors, 2 bathrooms (one w washer/dryer unit). Each room has its own number keypad for which you get an access code just before your stay. Very fast response by host. Room size and window config vary (likely corresponding cost as well). Double sized bed, firm (we liked), two thin pillows (two additional foam pillows in closet, but no cases – we did not message host to ask about), futon couch, small desk, desk lamp, desk chair. Window shades provide privacy (not blackout). Our room had a wall closet with hangers and sufficient elec plugs. Central AC plus operable windows. We stayed two nights over a big holiday weekend, when all rooms seemed occupied, and had no problems w people or bathroom access (though we shower evenings and try to be quick). As typical in our experience in Boston… one hears others. Bring earplugs/a white noise machine If you are a light sleeper. The street is relatively quiet, other than normal neighborhood noises. House rules include no shoes in the house, no food in room, and “do normal clean up after self where sharing space” - all which we think is a plus, since it will keep things cleaner for guests and the cleaning fee was correspondingly low. We thought this was a good value and will consider for the future.
