Melissa's place is very nice, well appointed, quiet and comfortable. It is truly an artist's retreat, as advertised. Located in what seems to be a quiet family-oriented and safe neighborhood, it's also a short, pleasant walk to the Orange Line, which will take you quickly into the heart of Boston and all it has to offer. I like that I had a very nice bathroom to myself just outside the door of my bedroom. I especially liked her sweet old labrador and the lovely deck out back covered with lush grape vines and many hanging flower baskets--a great place in the morning to have breakfast and read the newspaper! Melissa, herself, is kind and thoughtful. I would highly recommend this home away from home.
