We had a great time at Hermina‘s guest house. I visited Boston with my daughters and we stayed in the attic room. The place is super easy to reach with public transportation (the red t-line) as we didn’t have a car. The stop is 5 min walk from the house. Hermina’s house borders on the local police station’s parking lot - it doesn’t get any safer than that! The neighborhood is very diverse with lots of vietnamese stores and restaurants. Visit the nearby Homestead Bakery for great coffee and baked goods in a relaxed atmosphere! Hermine was great with giving tips for close by eating places. She is very friendly and hospitable and wants to make sure you have a good time during your stay.
If you happen to be a runner, the Dorchester Bay is only about 1 mile away and and awesome place for a run as long as you want it.
There is one full bathroom and one powder room for all guests, so in the morning there will be a wait for the shower. The common spaces are nice, including a patio with a table and chairs, lovely to sit outside if you bring or make your own food.
Thank you, Hermina!
