Excellent Location!
The property and its proximity to businesses and restaurants is just wonderful. Glad I booked this room, and I had a lot of fun in the Boston area as a result. Will definitely be staying here again If I ever get the chance.

Beautiful, safe location
This is a lovely home in what seems like a safe location. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and he was super nice and made me feel so welcome and comfortable! It was convenient to have access to the washer/dryer onsite. The shared bathroom takes some getting used to, but I did not have any trouble with that at all (mostly available when I needed and the couple of times I had to wait, the other guests were good about doing what they needed to do and getting out- no long showers, etc). The room does not have a tv, which I think is noted in the listing and was not an issue for me, as I did not spend much time in the room. Overall, a very comfortable stay, and I would happily stay here again as a single woman traveling alone. You can hear other guests walking around upstairs, some street noise, etc. (it's an older home with wood floors, which is nice and adds to the charm, but can also contribute to noise). If you're a light sleeper and those types of ambient house noises bother you, I would recommend a sound machine or something similar.

Cutie little home base
I loved this cozy room. It was far enough out of downtown to be quiet but not too far to make anything inaccessible. I didn’t love the three flights of stairs but the view more than made up for it. The only drag was sharing the bathroom - the shower and toilet were together, so don’t expect easy access between 8-9 am. But I got a good schedule going that made it easier. All in all, would definitely stay again ❤️

Nice, clean room
Property manager is very responsive and courteous. Nice, quiet neighborhood, a good 45 min walk to visit my son in Boston College. Kudos to the owner for keeping the property up to date and providing a nice, clean room to stay without breaking my wallet (which the university cost already did). Will definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay in the house. The room was small but the view was great. The bathroom was impressive. Charles was amazing with communication and super accommodating. He even let me check in early! We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay
You’re always a little nervous with a room in a house and shared bathroom but Mr McFadden’s spot is amazing! Feels super homey and private. The attention to detail is fabulous. Beautiful house and comfy bed, good shower, other guests were quiet. While we didn’t use it, there is a Keurig for guests and soft, clean towels are provided. You won’t regret this choice. Thanks Charles!

Small room in a quiet house.
My friend stayed here and he found it clean and quiet. There is laundry and a kitchen and is a convenient location in the Boston area. He tried to book another month but it was all booked.
