Lori made us feel very welcome. She served us tea in her own kitchen, and showed us her beautiful garden. Our apartment kitchen was well stocked. The entire apartment was very clean and very charming. She had a good collection of maps, sights to see listings, and local restaurant listings. She answered all of our questions. It was quite warm in Boston during our stay, and the air conditioning was very effective at keeping us cool. I would recommend Lori's place to anyone visiting Boston.
