We had the most comfortable stay! The room was clean, the staff was friendly and responsive, and we were close to public transportation and plenty of convenience stores and restaurants. Temperature was perfect- we hope to stay there again if we travel to Boston!

The inn was a bit run down, but we felt safe and were pleased with the affordability. The beds were comfortable and the area was quiet.
(The beds were made when we arrived.) The carpet was pretty gross. Grafitu on the wall art. Other than these things, the room was safe, comfortable, and quiet.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is not a property you should list. It is a run down house run by nice people who apparently dont care enough about the condition of the property. The hallway bathroom was horrible. I was unable to use the facilities as the toilet was backed up and stuffed with toilet paper. With some serious investment and a more dedicated staff and owner, it could become a charming Bed and breakfast. As it is, it should not be listed on your site.

Only stayed one night for a concert, but the place has its charm. Local businesses around are thriving and plenty to do nearby. Shared bathroom might seem off putting to some but it was a great experience. If near the Boston area again, would definitely stay!
