Hermina was a lovely host. She was very communicative over eMail and phone and I felt secure knowing I'd have a place to stay.

She has several units, in the same building. The one I was in was a basement unit, which was great for July, because Boston was HOT. The unit was very cool, and had a nice shared bath with the other basement unit. It had a little kitchenette, loads of space, and very easy access in and out. It felt like having a full apartment to myself. Available street parking was a big plus for me. Getting there was easy, you're out on the Red line, at Fields Corner, and it's just a few blocks from the station.
