My host contacted me early, and then just before my stay, with essential information--location of keys, house protocols and policies, and his cell number for questions. He also met me at the house after I had checked in.

This beautiful renovated brownstone is located in a very culturally diverse area--families, students, young professionals, many languages spoken. I walked alone everywhere from here with no problems. There is bus and T access within a 5-10 min. walk, and downtown Boston is only 2 stops away.

The master suite is lovely--roomy, well-appointed, and very quiet with the windows closed at night. Although in the middle of town, it feels beachy. Great linens! Very nice bathroom, too! I slept well here.

Guests can really use the kitchen, making meals as well as snacks or breakfast. Jonathan has equipped the kitchen and stocked it with staples and spices for that purpose. Others used it, but we never crossed paths. The house is atop a hill, and the house has 4 levels, so guests should be prepared to climb.

This was a very peaceful and welcoming place to stay, and I'd return in a minute.
