Michelle is a considerate, thoughtful host. She made time to check in periodically to see if I needed anything, and if I did, she was always available within 24 hours. She also arranged and prepared occasional dinners and treats - always delicious! The room is small, but I also brought more than what I needed for my three month stay, and I managed to make it work. The bed is comfortable and the room is quiet although it is connected to the bathroom (the city door is not used and is blocked by a dresser for privacy and extra storage). I also traveled with a car, and always found easy parking in front of the house. The Roxbury neighborhood itself is low to middle class; the neighbors are friendly and it's an easy walk to Back Bay, South End, Brookline, and other surrounding areas. It's completely comfortable during the day (caveat: I am from Chicago, so my standards may be a little lower than someone not from a large city), but I made it a point to return to the apt before the sun went down as some areas on the walk back (not the neighborhood itself) feel a little sketchy. Overall, this was a positive experience and I would stay here again. Thanks Michelle!
