I couldn't have dreamed of a better stay! I've only written one review of anything in my entire life, but feel compelled to write this one because if I didn't I would be doing Althea a tremendous disservice. She and her husband were extremely hospitable, kind and friendly. Our communications and interactions were fantastic from the start of the booking process, right on down to the moment of checkout. The room as well as the rest of the common/shared spaces were clean and tidy with a great homely feel. I genuinely didn't feel like I was staying at an airbnb but more like I was visiting family for a short time. I highly recommend Althea's place to anyone looking for a room in the Boston area and wouldn't give a 2nd thought as to whether or not I would book her place again for any future visits to Boston. 5 stars all around. Thank you Althea for your incredible graciousness and for making my 1st actual airbnb booking as well as my 1st extended Boston visit such a wonderful experience. It truly was a pleasure!!
