Kevin's place is sparkling clean, very cozy, and he responded quickly when I had to reach out to him one morning when we lost power. The only thing that detracted from my experience is that it was harder than expected to reach the downtown area from the Allston-Brighton neighborhood via public transit (the busses run infrequently and the nearest train is a commuter line). My sister and I relied on Lyft to get around. Still, the Allston-Brighton neighborhood is a cool area to stay if you're looking to have a less tourist-y experience (good restaurants, local music venue, an independent movie theater). I had a great trip.
