boarding house
residência


Explanation:
A especificidade de boarding house é que todas as refeições estão incluídas no preço do aluguer do quarto. Neste caso, acho que residência se adequa melhor.

boarding house
estalagem


Explanation:
a boarding house does indeed provide meals that's why I would suggest estalagem...

board·ing house also board·ing·house (bôr'dĭng-hous', bōr'-)
n.
A house where paying guests are provided with meals and lodging.
---------------------------------------
estalagem
substantivo feminino
casa de comidas e dormidas; hospedaria; albergaria; pousada;

the last 3 words in the above definition would also be a possibility I suppose, but I am not sure they provide meals...
