My lab group stayed at Tricia's property while traveling to Boston for a scientific meeting. It was certainly more cost-effective than hotel rooms to accommodate the same number of people.
I asked a member of my group to write a summary/review of their experiences:
"Our experience at the “lovely private 4 bedroom apt.” was really good. The place is clean and indeed lovely as it is advertised. The location is great, as it is in 5 min walking distance to the orange line T stop. Bus stop is also pretty nearby. There are several good bars and restaurants nearby (5-10 min walking distance). The stores for grocery shopping such as Harvest Co-op and Whole Foods are 10 min away by walking. The place is very close to The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. It is a great place for walking for guests if they have a chance to go.
A washer and dryer are available in the house. The beds are comfortable and sheets and towels were clean with more than one towel per guest. There is a big kitchen and table, where we hanged out during our stay. The host brought us a breakfast for the first day and coffee too! Parking is available and easy and the neighborhood is safe. The shower and the hot water made our day begin clean. All rooms had either an AC or fan. All the rooms were decorated very well.
Overall, this was a great experience. We would certainly stay here again in the future."
