The house is lovely and in a beautiful part of Boston. Quiet, family neighborhood. The house was clean but had a strong odor- I think it was cat urine. Emmanuel was not flexible on check in/ key pick up and as a result my husband had to leave my graduation reception to accommodate him. The sheets were old and covered in pills. Emmanuel also never answered when I asked him after our stay if he saw my grandmother's raincoat in the closet. He could at least respond to the question. All around would not recommend Emmanuel as a host or the house.
