We stayed at this location because it was close to Symphony Hall. The building is on a pretty and quiet residential block.
This is not a hotel; it is more like a guesthouse. There is no reception. You just receive a code to enter the building and your room. You have to pay extra for everything: maid service, luggage storage, early check-in, late check-out, and a $7 fee just to check-in.
There is a well stocked kitchen, and free use of the washer and dryer in the basement. There is no breakfast whatsoever.
The room is very tiny, and only had a closet with shelves to put your clothes away. There was a small sink, a Keurig, and fridge. The host provided $1 bottles of water and cans of soda in the fridge, but charge you $4 if you drink them.
The bathroom was so small that the shower door and the bathroom door kept hitting each other.
Other issues that we had were that the hallway light sensors didn't work well, so everytime we came back to the room, we were in darkness. The room door also kept popping open on its own, even when we had confirmed that it was closed and locked. It was very concerning, especially knowing that there was another guestroom right next to ours.
The hosts were also not helpful. I told them that I would ask Expedia for compensation for the incorrect mention of breakfast being provided. When Expeda called them, they lied and said that they provide fresh fruit, milk and bread, all in an effort to not appear deceitful. But Expedia compensated me anyway.
