Vicki's place is stylish, comfortable and bigger than the pictures show. The property is tucked off the main street in what we found to be a very nice area of the city, down near the waterfront and very residential. It felt very safe and Vicki was a great host, staying late to welcome us after a long trip from the UK. She had coffee, biscuits and even cold beer waiting in the fridge, and spent time talking us through her home, the neighbourhood and the best ways to get the most out of our stay. We used the public buses to access the city, and Uber, but were glad we had hired a car - and that Vicki had a parking space for it - allowing us more flexibility to collect groceries and visit places outside of Boston. Taking the car into the city is not recommended though!
One thing we should mention is that the house is under the Boston airport flightpath, and therefore you might find that a bit of a disturbance. It didn't bother us, and you soon get used to the comings and goings of the planes during the day.
The nearby Local 149 bar/restaurant is nice, but doesn't do early starts on weekdays, so no breakfasts. Great for a late evening beer though.
We had a relatively short time in Boston, but staying at Vicki's was one of the highlights. We'd recommend to anyone visiting the city.
