    I felt comfortable the whole time and it was clean. They also offer activities that you can do with a guide and a group. I took part in the Skyline Walk and it was really fun!

    Location was great, near Boston Commons. Price was cheapest I found for anyplace to stay. Make sure you have earplugs and an eye mask to sleep soundly, it's a very busy place day and night. I felt safe and would use it again.

    I loved the community spaces and how close it was to everything. Having a communal kitchen was awesome! I liked how close I was to everything. To Beacon Hill, both parks, Back Bay, and train stations. It made getting around very easy.

    Close to the Tufts Center station. There's a 7-11 nearby. The room is clean and has a good table for remote work in the early morning.
