Ziyad and Michele's place was exactly what we were looking for. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and we actually woke up to birds chirping. The bed was very comfortable, and the living room was a great additional place to hang. There were great touches like books, cable, awesome wifi, a Bodum, nice toiletries and all the basic cooking needs.
It is a bit far from traditional tourist attractions, but the Orange Line is so close we didn't even notice this. The welcome binder was full of very helpful tips to get us started, especially as we'd never been to Boston. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great so we didn't use the back patio. Communication was seamless throughout, as was check in/out. Definitely recommend staying here!
