⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience staying here. The property was very clean and well maintained. Although some of the facilities are shared, everything was comfortable and easy to use. They also have almost everything you might need available at the front desk, which was very convenient. What impressed me most was John’s incredible kindness and hospitality. Even after I had returned to Japan, he went above and beyond to help me from thousands of miles away. He handled everything with such care, patience, and sincerity, and I was truly touched by his kindness. It’s not often that you experience this level of hospitality, especially after your stay is already over. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Boston. Five stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

I was going to walk to the New Balance Track, and asked the front desk man for directions. Rather than give me directions, he walked with me the mile to the track and pointed out good Korean restaurants and breakfast places along the walk. He was superbly kind and helpful (as I’m not great with directions).

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.

We had a great time, and this is in a good location. We took a short walk to Harvard and enjoyed that area. The room is very minimal, but nice people and clean bathrooms.

Allston is a working class neighborhood with lots of students. There are a great selection of restaurants; especially Asian fare. So many great places to eat and explore. There is some urban blight and decay.
