We had a wonderful time at Elisangela's place! Our group had seven people & everyone had a place to sleep. I would say however that five people would probably be a bit more comfortable, only so you could use the living room and kitchen area. We absolutely loved the patio area - really made us feel like we were actually living in East Boston. And the proximity to the subway transit was perfect - made getting around the city super easy! Elisangela herself was incredibly sweet & easy to get in touch with.
