Gerard and Marie's place was perfect for our sightseeing trip to Boston over the Memorial Day weekend (two adults and two boys, age 15 and 12). We took the taxi to their place, but it is also accessible via T-line, as we headed back to the airport that way. The neighborhood is charming with everything within a walkable distance. Yes, if you have your window open, you can hear conversations of those walking by. But, it's also so reassuring to hear everyday conversations, suggesting how safe and peaceful of a neighborhood it is. Thank you, Marie and Gerard, for opening up your space to us!
