we stayed for three nights to visit a family member studying at MIT. the place is the most ideal place to be for the price. the next choice is the nearby hyatt at more than twice the price. the room and bathroom and sparkling clean as described. it close to a coin operated laundry and two delis and a mini mart. bus no 47 passes right through it. the only missed point is the lack of antenna for the tv (i missed the two world series games). it has netflix though.
