It was nice. The room has wi-fi and a kitchen near the living room. There's a pool table. The owner is very nice and respectable. The other guests are quiet and it felt pretty safe. The price was really good. Thank you.

It is what it is, and what it is is a decent cheap place to stay in Boston. The room was tiny. Two single beds, an outlet to charge your phone and a window AC unit. I had to climb two steep flights of stairs to get to my room, but that was ok with me. One time I had to wait on the shared bathroom, but I managed. If you will only need the room for sleeping it’s totally fine. Get out and explore the city. I did. There’s a few good restaurants within walking distance. Fenway is less than two miles so an easy uber there and then a nice walk home (since Ubers are crazy after the game or show). It doesn’t look like much from outside, but again if you’re only there to sleep, who cares? Check in was a little clunky. My original directions for self check in did not include my room number so I had to call and text several times to get that, but once I got it I had no issues. I’d stay again if I was traveling solo. My wife would never stay there, but she’s less adventurous than me. And truth be told, if she were there I’d want to stay in a nicer place. My friends stayed at the Marriott for $900 for two nights. I was in and out at 184 Heath for under $200. Plenty of nearby street parking for free. I parked within a block with no issues.

Basically stayed in a closet. Dead bugs on floor, burn marks in sheets, mold in shared bathroom and spray insulation everywhere. Single room had a lock, bed, fan, and safe with no key. Worked for what I needed but 2/10 reccomend.

You can’t check in earlier than 7pm unless you’re willing to pay an extra $35, you have to check out at 9am unless you’re willing to pay an extra $35 for another few hours. Parking is also extra. It’s a shared living space, not a hotel.

This place is a scam. Stay away. One bathroom for ten rooms. Dirty beds. One room was in the kitchen. Horrifying noises at night from inside and outside. The window was not properly closing. I didn't sleep the night and waited till sun is out and just ran away. I booked it for four nights but rany away after the first night. Zero response from the so called owner. I had to dispute the charge through my bank.

Sheets had stains on them and found bedbugs on BOTH beds as soon as I arrived. There was also not any toilet paper and the room was incredibly small considering how much they charge for it. The two beds barely fit and all there is left is a space in between the beds for you to place your stuff. There isn't even a trashcan inside the room, so you would need to either go down the stairs and go outside and throw your trash away or use the small trashcan in the bathroom.

Someone at the property had to let me in and text the property manager to send me my check in information. The front door barely closes, the pillows thinner than plywood and feel about as comfortable. Feels like a halfway house.

It’s a big shame to recommend such a horrible location
Ugly entrance, the smart enter keys having problems, very narrow and abruptly stairs , cracked walls, rusted heaters. Almost unusable toilet room, without towels, without paper towel, without toilet paper , no soap
The room has only beds ( with descurajant linen), no table, no chairs, no shelves. Both nights I heard continuously music from neighbors, the owner did not answer to my messages.
In my opinion, this location doesn’t deserve a license for rent.
For Expedia it really a bad reputation to ofer such a rental.

Room smaller than advertised, no heating, dead cockroaches, other guests extremely loud during sleeping times, the area is sketchy with late night crime and homeless people, owners will always refuse to refund you and are completely unworkable. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. It should be a crime to list such a place.
