What a fabulous time I had in Boston and this Airbnb was a great launching point. Close to Boston and to the 'burbs. I didn't have a car but the commuter rail station is within close walking distance and Uber and Lyft are readily available, as are all the usual food delivery apps and Instacart. I felt safe in this neighborhood and there are some good restaurants nearby. I worked from the Airbnb every weekday and it was nice and quiet, the desk was large & comfortable and WiFi worked great! The door lock system was great, too, and I was thankful not to have to remember a key after hitting the town on the weekends! Charles was a dream host: always available but allowed complete privacy. I am also traveling with my cat and he was most accommodating for her, too. In fact, we became friends and I would definitely stay again when I come back to MA. One caution: This is, indeed, on a HILLTOP + lots of stairs and a few places where the ceiling is low, so just be aware if you have any mobility issues or if you're really tall! Enjoy!
