Jamal, the host that I met was very welcome and accommodating. He answered all my questions about door entry codes, accommodations, nearby directions to points of interest etc.
Location was excellent and accessible by bus, train or walk but never took those methods of transport due to some minor health issues of mine.
Place where I stayed was very clean, very comfortable and had most amenities. I walked to the 7-11 to get whatever was missing but that was not an issue nor an inconvenience at all. The value/price of the room for one night was reasonable. He provided cleaning service.
If I ever have a reason to come back to Boston alone or with family and/or friends, I highly recommend this place. An excellent alternative to very pricey hotels way beyond my budget.
