I had a great time staying at Lisa's. The place is very cozy and beautiful. The pictures certainly don't do it justice. The room is very clean. The bed is very comfortable and there are extra blankets if needed. The bathroom is shared between a few people, so there may be a queue in the morning. Lisa is very welcoming and always available to help. The two cats are very cool and friendly.

The area is very lively with its own community culture, separate from Boston proper. There are some great restaurants, cafes, and markets for organic food. The nearby pond is very beautiful and poetic on a fall afternoon. The Midway Cafe is a great venue for local music, ranging from indie, to folk, to punk.

While it's a bit of a hassle for daily commute to Boston and Cambridge. I highlight recommend Lisa's place for a staycation. JP's community makes a wonderful retreat from the busy city life, without the ridiculous travel.
