Julie is a very thoughtful host. Her attention to details and the extra touches such as fresh flowers and fruit, favorite snacks, cofee, a nice assortment of teas, gift certificate to local restaurant, etc were much appreciated. The place is comfortable and homey and offers a glimpse into Boston living in a well established neighborhood. Proximity to local shops and restaurants and especially the jewel of the Arnold Arboretum for frequent hikes through nature in the city are the best!
