Penny was an exceptionally thoughtful host who provided us with a detailed overview of the area, what to do, and where to eat. The neighborhood is nestled between Jamaica Pond and the Arnold arboretum. Both within short walking distance. There's easy access to the downtown area and museums with buses and trains. The house is lovely and the room has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The nearby street is full of restaurants, bakeries, cafes, ice cream, and there are even grocery stores nearby. Lovely experience all around.
