This was the first time we stayed at a Homestay. The property was multi-level and clean. Those with mobility problems might have a difficult time with stairs. Parking is on the street - we arrived early, and so lucked out in finding close parking. I liked the amenities that the owner provided: basic food items, coffee, shower gel, shampoo, etc. The walls of the property are quite thin, and sound carries. Although the owner encourages quiet times after 9 p.m., it's up to you and the other guests to observe those rules. We felt safe while at the property, with a couple of electronic code locks and an individual key to our room. BTW there are some great restaurants and bars right around the corner on Dorchester Ave, within walking distance.
