The area is walkable and quiet neighborhood. The room is good, but would be better if the AC is not on top of the bed which is really annoying when you are sleeping. We have to share the room with other people, however we can heat up your food or make coffee in the shared kitchen. The towel is not good quality and very old, maybe you should bring your own towel and hair dryer when staying here. Overall, I give 4 stars for this place, it is safe place when you are visiting Boston.
