Hilary (and Hazel) are wonderful hosts. Their house is warm, welcoming, and very inspiring. Plenty of shops and restaurants close by. We got groceries at City Feed and Supply and cooked one lovely meal and relaxed in both the kitchen and living room. For the rest of the time, we were on the go. The T is quite convenient, (even if it is sleeting/snowing/hailing!) Hilary is very nice, and after a wonderful conversation, steered us toward some galleries in Fort Point, which were awesome. We also browsed the Boston guide book she has at-the-ready. All in all, a most excellent stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely artisan home. And Aggie... we loved their dog, too!
