Jil's large house with several rooms for rent are perfect. They are beautifully appointed with antiques and the bed and couch were both very comfortable. It's a big beautiful large old home with a great history and the creaks that go with it. Close to many fabulous restaurants with reasonable prices and public transit to get around Boston. The neighbourhood is filled with lovely old homes and is quiet. I felt very safe walking around after dark. I also felt at home in the house. While the private bath with my room was around the corner, it was definitely private. There is a second room for rent next to the bathroom, however it has an ensuite and that guest would only walk by on their way down the stairs. There is a lock inside the bathroom if one chooses to ensure privacy. The entrance to the room itself is very private.
There is a fridge in the room and small "kitchen" area which was perfect for breakfast. I will definitely consider staying here again. Thanks Jil
