Great space with a great host. Having a microwave/coffee maker/mini-fridge in the room made mornings super easy to get up and get going. Plus, the space is large enough that it's like a private studio apartment. About a 20 min walk to the Brown line, or a little shorter if you catch a bus and transfer. Cool neighborhoods all around with a grocery store within walking distance. Russ is a superb host that goes out of his way to make sure that you are comfortable and that you have all sorts of information on things to do/places to go, and he keeps the place in great shape.
