The house was a beautiful historic home in a very neat old neighborhood. The walk from the T (subway) was about 10 minutes and then only a 10-15 minute ride to downtown Boston. We were there for the marathon and even though the weather was terrible, it was a great place to stay. They had coffee in the morning, a space heater in our room, towels/shampoo and everything was very clean. We got to meet some other runners staying in the home which was fun as well! I highly recommend this place.
