Cozy hip vibe close to restaurants and T
Pros:

Great location directly across the street from the porter square T line and close to many restaurants/coffee shops. The hotel is decorated in a hip wood paneled style that is very modern and cozy. The place is spotless and very comfortable. The rooms are small in a “just enough space” way. The bump-out windows overlooking the street are fantastic — lots of light and with workable windows, the neighborhood sounds and breeze lightly fill the space. We absolutely loved our stay of 3 nights.

Cons:

We wished that there was a mini-fridge and a small movable table for the chair in the bump-out window space (a place for a laptop and/or beverage).
