I only stayed one night; however, the house was nice, secure (always locked, stuff felt safe), community around the house is down to earth--I highly recommend the pizza place just down the street. House feels warm and homelike, the T is just a couple minute walk away and thus making where you stay central to anywhere you want to go!! Hermina was gone while I was there, but she put me in contact with her friend who was very kind and wanted to make sure I had a good time while there. One night is not enough to enjoy all that Boston has to offer, not by far... so I plan on coming back very soon and plan on making this where I will stay.
