I hate Boston, but I loved staying at Tim Johnson's place. It was beautiful and perfectly located (you can hail a cab almost as easily as whenever you're in NYC). His neighborhood was close to everything I needed. He's gracious and accommodating; the space he "rented" me was immaculate and I did fend off temptations to steal a few books--he has great taste. His price was EXCEPTIONALLY good compared to everything else I was finding on airbnb, and even more so when compared to hotel rates (duh). If you're going to Boston and want privacy, a comfortable bed, and a warm environment, "book" with Tim Johnson.
