This is a really great property, especially if you’re traveling as a couple! The room is small but very thoughtfully laid out, The bed is very comfortable, and the shower is heavenly! Also, there is a good work area in the basement with strong WiFi - great if you are on a work trip! And the T (Metro) is right next door, so Boston is just a short train ride away! I strongly recommend Hotel 1868, and intend to stay there again next time I’m in Boston!
