My goodness, this stay was magical. I traveled from California along with my partner for a first visit on the east coast and a huge part of the pleasure of the trip was staying at Hilary's. Not only was her home the most whimsical little place I've seen, filled with art and warmth, Hilary herself was an amazing host who was an open book for suggestions and questions all in the hopes of making our stay better. Her home was located a short distance from the stony brook station which you could easily take into Boston with ease. Even in the JP area though, there was plenty to see and certainly many great bites and bars. Overall, this was a great place to stay and to be honest, we were a little sad to leave because it was impossible to not to feel as though Hilary and her amazing dog Aggie were good friends. If you find yourself taking a trip to Boston, I highly recommend this place and host.
