Lori's place is so nice, exactly as described, easy to get to and not far from the train. The area is quite and lovely, I was there in the fall, so the colours of the trees was amazing. As an Australian, I cannot quite get over seeing squirrels everywhere, they are very cute, but apparently not in your roof. Take the time to walk out to the ponds, a very beautiful area. Lori is a very friendly and generous host, sharing a meal and wine with me on my first night at her place, it was very much appreciated. My last comment is that it is better to stay in the suburbs and learn about local places, you can still have time for all the tourist traps.
