The apartment of Sandy is really cute. She made us feel comfortable, welcomed us with a personal note, prepared the room nicely and provided water and everything you need in the bathroom.
One problem for us was the long way to the center of Boston, where we spent our daytime. It may be better to stay in her place when you travel by car.
The neighbourhood is not very inviting to spend the evening there, after coming home from downtown which takes at least 50 minutes with public transportation.
