    There's a shuttle bus that runs every 40 mins from hotel.to the airport it takes around 15 mins, and there's also a car rental drop off and you can get the bus from the airport to downtown Boston.The room was spotless had a hairdryer coffee machine and the beds were very comfy they also store your luggage without charge and there was a pretty decent selection at breakfast. There are restaurants/ diners across the street, which probably takes about 15 mins to get to and the locals were very friendly.

    The department is so wonderful, maybe it’s the best homestay I’ve ever rent. The host is very friendly and polite, the house and furniture are very comfortable, modern and clean. In particular, there are some extra mattress to spread on the ground, which is great if a group of friends wants to sleep together.

    The 4 bed room was quite okay in size. Overall hostel looks clean. However, bathrooms are limited, maybe in rush time, you could have to line up (I didn't have to but just saying). The breakfast was bit late at 8 AM, and was only bare essential, but I guess you can bring and eat your own food? It is close to 7 Eleven and within walking distance of Boston Common. I would say it was one of the good hostels I have seen in US, like European standards.

    A nice and cozy house with a great host. The location is situated in a quiet neighborhood, not so close to Boston downtown, but you can easily go there by bus (station is 2 minutes walk) and the the metro.
