The kitchen lent itself to conversations - I enjoyed those, and eating on the adjacent porch in sun with a view of leaves. The LR leather seating was comfortable, but I didn't spend much time there. Nice eccentric-old big room vibe, with a comfy bed, and satin-slippery sheets. When the central air runs (floor-wide thermostat in the hall) it makes loud white noise, which some liked, or disliked, or both. Being next to the bathroom made it easy to grab availability (the other was being renovated - both expected to be done mid-October-ish). The neighborhood is nicely hilly for walking exercise - one day I walked around a nice pond to see a visiting exhibit at Boston College's small art gallery. Nice washer/dryer. Charles's messaging was friendly and prompt. I'd happily stay again.
