Terrific location, so close to the T. Down a side street that looked a little sketchy at first sight, but was perfectly fine, even when three women walked there at 11:30 at night. Very quiet. BIG BONUS... new Target at the corner, just in case you forgot something. When we first walked in, we were greeted with stairs that went on and on and on. However, although steep, you only have to go up one flight (challenging with suitcases, but you only have to do it twice - up and down). Big collection of books for all ages. And the hammock was fabulous. Very homey and lived in. If you love a hotel stay, this isn't for you. Mainely Burgers, just a short walk up Mass Ave, was delicious! Go the other way, and you walk right into MIT. Worth the walk (then we took the bus back - NOT a short walk). Overall, it was a great place to stay and fairly priced.
