It's a studio in Chelsea
This is a price performer. The house is cool looking from the outside. The house is divided up into what I'm guessing are all VRBO (type) rooms. I don't think anyone actually lives there. Entrance is on the driveway side, not the front entrance. There are 4 or 5 key boxes and you have to guess which one is for your room. I don't want to spoil the mystery. The other review (1 star) is misleading, as you can tell by reading it is more about their personal experiences and fears than about the facility itself. There is nothing special about this studio. It has a sofa and a tv in the entry room, a bath which is retrofit and is functional but also a bit awkward (there is a window in it that leads to nothing/cardboard) and a claw foot tub with wrap around shower curtain, but I guess that's not unusual in these older homes. The stairs leading to the room are very steep. Other guest rooms are also on this floor. There is no way an elderly guest could stay here. The door knob is oddly low. The sofa is not designed for a 2nd sleeper according to the host despite being a sofa bed. (no sheets or blankets or pillows). I just slept on the sofa and my daughter slept in the bed. We bought a blanket and left it there, enjoy. The bed is just a bed, no decoration or period specific furniture etc. The windows have been replaced and are nice. The heater was on and I didn't know how to adjust or turn on/off. But it worked ok. In summary, this is not a place you would go and hang out in the room... it's for sleeping/showering while you visit the Boston area, it's just a studio in Chelsea but is priced accordingly.
