Marlene was really a great host. She made sure we had everything we need. Our room was spacious and comfortable and most importantly it's sunny! We have access to everything in her house. We did laundry there, we cooked(kind of) there. The house was nearby the Harvard university. It was quiet and lovely. Marlene even invited us to join their Halloween party. We enjoyed our stay with Marlene. I highly recommend u to stay over there if u plan to visit Boston.
