I had a few very great months at Michelle's place in Boston! The room was nice and cosy and a short walk can get you to public transport and the supermarket. I was working at the longwood medical area and walked to work every day without any problems or feeling unsafe walking home at night. Michelle went out of her way and her hodpitality was outstanding! She always checked by to make sure everything was okay, helped with everyday questions,gave tips and even organized a real thanksgiving dinner to let her guests have a real american experience! The cute cats are an extra bonus. I can really recommend this place!! Only thing to keep in mind is, even though it is close to public transport, it is not in the most busy part of the city meaning if you want to go out for food or drinks you will eventually have to make an effort to get into the city. Aside from that, great place! If you are looking for a cozy, safe place to stay this is your match!
