Buses you need to signal stops and above ground subway you need to signal stops. Also if you take the commuter rail, be aware of "flag stops". If there aren't people on the platform or you don't tell the conductor they will not make the stop.

Sure, don’t know if this makes sense for you but I stayed at a long term Airbnb a couple months while house hunting. Check out your commute times on google-you’re close to commuter rail but it doesn’t run as often as the T. There are plenty of sidewalks and not too much traffic over there for dog walking. There are also some nice small parks and playgrounds in Roxbury. In terms of places to go out, there are more over by the Savin hill station. But if you don’t mind driving a little bit there’s plenty of stuff in south end.

Eliminating the single largest overhead expense has a huge impact on what “viable” means.

You can survive on a lot less when it’s a family business and the building could be paid for, or at least secured via mortgage.

Ask for late checkout? You might be able to get checkout at noon or something. Just ask when you check in so they can arrange a room that isn’t boomed
