Lori and her home are both very welcoming. The room was neatly laid out with helpful signs to get you started on your own in the case you arrive whilst she is away - as I did.
Transportation links are great: the closest T-stop is 5 minutes walk with 2 turns - very hard to get wrong which is great for arrival and for doing quick trips out into Boston.
Lori is a very caring host and expects that care to be reciprocated when at her house. I was frequently offered coffee, food, and advice about Boston. You are definitely staying at someone else's house, as opposed to some other airbnb setups where the whole building serves as places to stay. This was exactly what I wanted and I got to experience American home culture. However if you're looking to do your own thing at unsocial hours I would recommend you find somewhere else.
It is worth mentioning that the WiFi/Internet was quite unreliable - as a UK visitor I was using the WiFi in the evenings/mornings before I went out and it did frequently drop out. However I found it to be sufficient to quickly check my emails/maps and make a plan for my day.
All in all I really enjoyed my time at Lori's and would stay again.
