What an excellent experience. Elisangela is a very warm and welcoming host, and she even provided some food stables and bathroom supplies for our visit. My daughters (10 & 13) and mother (73) and my brother and I enjoyed the cosy apartment as well as the the location (short walk to the subway). Across the street is an excellent Mexican restaurant and grocery stores are close by for basic supplies. It is a working class neighborhood, but very safe and a nice park/play-ground just down the street. Also, short taxi rides to downtown Boston and North End, and even shorter trip to the airport.

Elisangela was very helpful with all of our questions as it was our fist time to Boston.
