What a great trip! Trying to stay anywhere in Boston during the marathon for a reasonable price seemed almost impossible. We found Hermine's place and she does not raise her prices sky high like most other places. This was perfect as anywhere else we would have had to spend it all on accommodation. rHermine was so helpful, when room situations changed she made sure it was ok with us, which it was. The house is beautiful and the room was perfect! She gave us easy to follow instructions to get from the airport. It's not a fancy part of town but as 2 females traveling together we never once felt unsafe, even at night. While we did not get to meet the owner, her property manager was available and helped us out. Highly recommend this house if you want a close but quiet place in an authentic Boston location.
