The place is well located and I assume it was not too bad in terms of value for Boston at this time of the year. However, the apartment is a bit run down, especially the bathroom. Furthermore, there is only one bathroom/toilet and it is shared among 4 rooms with potentially multiple guests, which meant that it was often occupied when I wanted/needed to use ot which was quite inconvenient. If you want more comfort, better look for another place. If you are looking for something cheap, the place is fine. John was very responsive.
