I had a wonderful stay in Hilary's home! This is a fantastic location; I enjoyed exploring the lovely neighborhood of Jamaica Plain. Hilary was very warm and welcoming. She had great advice about restaurants and other things to do in the area. She was away for part of my stay, but took the time to check in with me to make sure I had everything I needed.
I was taking a course at the Harvard School of Public Health and it was a straightforward commute--a five minute walk to the bus stop and a ~20 minute bus ride to the school.
I would definitely recommend Hilary's place to anyone planning a visit to Boston!
