I live in the Boston area but due to a graduation event needed extra space to host family members coming from out of state and could not reccomend a better place.
From the getgo Dawn was very responsive and very accommodating to our needs. The place is perfect. She had shampoos and toiletries available, plenty of towels, a gift for the graduate as well as teas, coffees and snacks for us. We needed to cook and the kitchen was equipped with all the pots we needed. The beds were super firm and comfortable. I would have loved to use the deep tub in the bathroom but was short for time.
If you love urban culture then you'll be in neighborhood heaven...just veer around the corner and find gazillion of shops at your destination. I live in Massachusetts but for the first time ever truly expetienced Mattapan/Dorchester in all its urban glory and I loved it!!! I would definitely use Dawn's place again.
