Allston
A five-bedroom home in Allston, transit-connected to Boston’s university cluster — not on foot.
Boston Hospitality Homes sits in Allston, served by the Green Line B branch and local buses. Boston University’s campus is closest of the three major schools nearby; Harvard and MIT are across the Charles River in Cambridge.
None of the three schools are within walking distance — all are a transit or car trip, crossing the river for Harvard and MIT.
