Marlene was indeed a Superhost. Everything was as clear & simple as she specified. The house was in easy walking distance of HBS. And given how well appointed the room was, with a nice firm mattress on the bed, nice bedroom flooring, in-room fridge stocked initially w/ some bottle and spritzer water and a private bathroom (with a great , spacious stand-up shower), though the room is not inexpensive, it is a great value relative to the alternative hotel options.
