We were well received, found the fridge and kitchen sufficiently stocked with basics and breakfast supplies - bought extra for us! Matt interrupted his holiday cooking to show us around - other than that we had total privacy. It is a very special space - if you have never been in a period home this is your chance. It is cozy and romantic and comfortable. If I wanted to write a novel the tower room might be the place to attempt it.
It is a 10-minute walk from the subway which takes you right into Boston. There is parking and a few good restaurants and shopping places nearby.
