Georgia and her sister were very friendly and helpful in suggesting things to do. The house is warm and cozy (and clean, which we really appreciated). It's a short walk to Roslindale Village, which offers restaurants, shops, grocery, etc. The train depot is a 2 minute walk from the house as well, and you can take the train to the South Station in the heart of downtown Boston. We would definitely stay there again if we ever return to the area.
