We had such a good time at Evelyn's place! the room is on the third floor and has an own (huge) bathroom. Evelyn prepared us a nice breakfast in the morning and left us helpful notes. on a rainy day she left us two umbrellas on the table that we should take with us. we loved her cute dog that didn't bark at any time and didn't disturb.
Public transportation (Subway Stony Brook) is only a few walking minutes away and it takes about 15 minutes to downtown.
If we will come back to Boston we will definitely consider staying at this place again!
