"We had 5 people and more than enough room with the 7 total beds. Location was great for us. Not right downtown so nice to be a little quieter, but close enough to be just about anywhere quickly via bus, L train, or along the waterfront walk. Place is clean enough, updated in spots but could use a little love in others."
