Sophia was a wonderful host! The location of her home is perfect for access to the rest of Boston via the T or Lyfts (my preference). There are plenty of food options around both for snacks or sit-down restaurants, many of which Sophia provided as recommendations. I was able to get a Lyft within two minutes right at the end of the block the multiple times that I needed one while I was in Boston, which was super helpful! The staircase up to the apartment is quite steep and may be difficult with a larger bag, so just be ready for that. The room was quite nice! The coffee maker was a nice touch, the air conditioning worked just fine, and the bed very comfortable! I did not have a need for the communal kitchen during my stay so I did not venture up there. The space was very quite, despite the trash truck in the morning, but no one can handle that when you stay right in the center of a busy neighborhood of a major city! I would definitely recommend staying with Sophia because of the lovely accommodation and the access to Boston that this location grants!
