Ann was wonderful and welcoming! We settled in and then took off to enjoy the city. Since we were visiting without car, location was important. Being on Government made for a not too long walk into the downtown area. On returning, we found a box of fresh and wonderful pastries and a fridge stocked with milks and juices. The living space is pretty basic, but clean and nice. We enjoyed the small deck in the mornings – great place to sit, visit, and enjoy a cup of tea (or in our case coffee). The house is only two blocks from Beacon Hill Park which is a peaceful place to play, walk, sit, and meditate. Know that there are currently two living spaces in the house, one with the deck in the front and one with the deck on the side of the house.
