Hermina was sweet. The location was not the best, but it was a very close walk to the Red Line so that was great. Our main problem with staying there was not at all her, it was mainly the fact that she over-books. The room was clean and beds were very comfortable. There is no AC so beware, during the summer it is quite hot upstairs (where all the bedrooms are). Our problem was that there in only 1 1/2 bathrooms in the entire house and there were several groups of airbnb people staying there, not including herself and her two young kids. It was almost impossible to take a shower and get ready in the mornings and evenings, because as soon as one person gets out, another gets in. Her washer/dryer are also located in the main bathroom, so people are in there doing laundry while others need to shower/use the restroom.

Her house is also right next to a Boston police station, so we could hear dispatch and cars often opening and closing. If you need quiet to fall asleep, this is not the place you want to stay.

Overall: it was an alright experience, but I would not stay there again. It would be a much more comfortable experience if Hermina stops overbooking her place.
