Robert was a fun host. We interacted a lot, eating meals together and watching football or other programs. He does have a new dog that was not always friendly and barked a lot sometimes. Even after 3 1/2 weeks, the dog still didn't seem comfortable with me.
The area was great for walking to bus or T stop (orange) and there were big grocery stores and several smaller ones/bakeries and restaurants nearby. There was also a nice yoga studio that I'd recommend. Parking was mostly easy on the street.
