Cosy Celtic Retreat was the perfect, affordable place for my two-week stay while I did research at Harvard Business School. The room is exactly as it looks in the picture. The house is very comfortable with lots of local character including TONS of books. The best part about this place, however, is the host. I had never been to Boston before, and Deborah helped me find my way around the neighborhood and city, suggested local places to eat or drink, and was the source of lots of great conversations over wine/beer--literature, religion, history, tv shows, just about anything. As for the neighborhood, it's a great place for younger people, but also felt like home, and had easy public transportation access to get to Harvard or downtown Boston.
