Pros:

I liked the door code check-in - it takes zero seconds. I also appreciate that I saved a lot of money on my stay.
I felt safe and the bedding was very nice.

The property is rather old and decades beyond needing a total renovation. A lot of repairs and maintenance are slipshod. Many fixtures look like they were purchased second hand and moved here. The doors have lots of filled holes from previous lock mounting, for example. The cold water was never cold, leaving the shower too hot to use.

If you're okay with hostels, this can be an okay choice, but it's not a "hotel".

An extensive list of rules they send you before check-in indicates they have problems with some guests; however, everyone during my mid-week stay was quiet and respectful.

Pros:

No place to store clothes. Entry was confusing - there were two entry doors, code worked on one and no indication which door leads to unit. Location is perfect. All doors are ‘shaky’ and rubbing floors

Pros:

The unit was in peerless condition. Almost exactly what I expected (actually, a bit better). Communication was perfect. The unit was even offered for an unexpectedly early check-in.

Pros:

Safe area, convenient easy to get around. The suite needed some work. Wallpaper coming off the walls, stuff like that.

Great stay
Pros:

Convenient location! My friend and I love to walk! It was about 30 mins walk to little Italy. But about 12 mins to the main park and freedom trail.
Small room but comfortable and just what we needed for our stay. They let us leave our luggage early for a fee.

Pros:

There are many things I did not like:
1. Shabby - peeling paint and wallpaper
2. Bed uncomfortable. It did not fit into its space and I had to squeeze myself between the wall and the bed to get into it. I'm slim.
3. The electrical system does not support the requirements and the property would probably fail an electrical inspection. The GFCI breaker in the bathroom tripped on several occasions, probably because the light switch was hanging out of the wall. When I took a shower, the moisture build up probably caused the exposed wires in the light switch to short out. This is very hazardous indeed.
4. There was only regular coffee with the coffee maker - no decaf and no tea, which I like in the late afternoon.
5. The carpet was old and curled up at the corners and I had to be careful not to trip over it.
6. One window blind did not pull down to fill the window and thus people in the street could see in.
7. The shower itself had two tiles which had come unstuck. There was very little grout on the shower floor. Thus, the shower water was probably leaking into the ceiling below. The shower floor was made or durable tile and because two of them were completely loose and wobbly, you could injure your foot because the edges of the tiles were sharp.
8. On the first night, I got bitten by an insect. I didn't think much about it at the time but as time went by, the site of the bite got infected. When I returned home, I had to go to the emergency room. It turned out to be a spider bite.

Pros:

4 flights of stairs, room was in desperate need of a lick of paint, very noisy as right next to interstate and railway, for the price expected mire.

Pros:

The place was dirty, there was no hot water. The people in the room next door began taking turns going to the bathroom at 5am and continued doing so until the afternoon every 15 minutes or so..:

Nice place to stay.
Pros:

We were just in Boston for 2 nights. The property was perfect for the occasion. Reasonable price for a nice place to stay. Owner was responsive as well. I would stay here again if I’m in the area.

Pros:

It's a very nice convenient felt like I was a resident. There were some repairs needed in the room. I stayed in.
Including a loose faucet in the bathroom and also no mirror in the bathroom. The water pressure was extremely low. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and it did not have a box spring.It was just on a board. With some improvements, this could be a really wonderful place to stay. I did enjoy the little kitchenet, provided dushes, microwave and refrigerator and used it every day.

Pros:

The property is a bit run down albeit the location is pretty convenient. Parking in the area is difficult and expensive. I paid $45 for the closest paid open lot parking lot. Being that the street fronts the mass Pike, the traffic noise can be heard if the AC unit heater is not turned on. The room was small and not in the best condition, but given that its an old brownstone building some issues are to be expected. The pealing Wallpaper, and some materials used could be finished a bit better. On the positive side, the bedding was very comfortable and sheets and towels were clean. Lighting in the bathroom could be better and the door hits the bed when you try and open it all the way.
