Evelyn proved to be an excellent host, and greeted me with a chat and a glass of wine. The room was clean and cheerful, and the bed most comfortable. She has a small dog, which was very friendly. The house is about 5 minutes walk from Stoney Brook T station. The fare to Central Boston is$ 2.75, and a weekly ticket at $19 is a bargain for longer stays. Get it on your first journey.
