Lori's home is incredibly charming, comfortable and clean -- exactly as advertised! Lori was out of town during my visit, and so we did not get to meet in person. However, Lori was easy to contact, very responsive, and the check-in/stay was seamless. It is easy to feel right at home, and Lori makes available plenty of comforts - breakfast, toiletries, etc.!
The neighbourhood is super "hip" as described, and I discovered many favourites during my stay (check out the "Papercuts" bookstore, Ula Cafe, or take a stroll around Jamaica Pond!). It is a 5 minute walk to the "T", and a bit further you can find Centre Street with many shops and restaurants.
I will definitely stay again when I next find myself in Boston -- Lori is a gracious and generous host!
