I went to Boston to attend a conference at the Boston Convention Center which is a 30-minute walk from Tyler's place. Tyler was very efficient in communicating via email before my trip and promptly answered all my questions. The room is very spacious, has air condition, good internet. Also, it is a very short walk (about 5 minutes) from the subway station. Not much around the neighborhood (restaurants or shops), although it is perfectly safe. The house was very quiet. I did not see anyone during my entire stay. This was perfect for the purposes of my trip.
