Betsy’s place is amazing!! It is so clean and cozy. Everything in photos is as described. Communication and check in/out with Betsy was a breeze. The entire process was very straightforward. It was our first time renting a room of someone’s home instead of the entire home itself and it was literally the best case scenario when it came to sharing a home. She had little plaques set up for guests explaining everything you needed to know. Free WiFi & washer/dryer a huge plus. She definitely kept to herself and wasn’t overbearing at all & is SUCH a sweet person. At one point, we told her we wanted to go down to Hingham to the original Wahlburgers. She did research on her own to let us know about a ferry that would be an easy route there and back.
I will say, if stairs are a problem for you, rent elsewhere. She is the top floor of a 4 story apartment building with no elevator ;) but if you’re young & able, it is totally worth the climb. Another thing was that we stayed during a warm week, and being on the top floor it was a little warm at first, however she has a window unit AC stashed in the closet for you to use at your convenience. We popped it in the window and were comfortable the entire stay. She is within walking distance of restaurants & cafes & coffee shops. And she even has a list of recommended places to eat! She is also less than a block from the bus stop which will get you anywhere you need to go!
I will definitely recommend Betsy’s place to anyone who is planning a trip to Boston!
