The Carney house is a magnificent place to stay. The house is on a tree lined street of similiar houses and seems like an idyllic New England scene. Our room was excellent and included the use of a shared little sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Mary was very welcoming to us when we arrived and was helpful in answering questions about our trip into downtown Boston. The house is so convenient to the T line and we left our car there to avoid having to drive into downtown. We left early on our checkout day so didn't get a chance to have the famous muffins. i hope we will stay there again as it was a great experience.
