1. Location might not be the best (not much going on in the hood) but the North End or Quincy Market are just a few-min walk away, so, it's not that bad at all.

8. I wouldn't discourage anyone from staying here, but I would suggest speaking to the management right away instead of letting it slide, like I did, and then having a bad impression on departure.
