They weren't there personally, but they had a greeter that lived down the street. She took us around the house and told us all we needed to know. The house was enormous! Everything was in tip-top shape save for an unwashed wok on top of the fridge. They also left us a bottle of wine, and an ukulele with a 'teach yourself to play the ukulele' book. Loads of books, games and fun stuff around the house. Kitchen was also stuffed with all the condiments a chef could want.

Neighborhood seemed fine. Its close to a commuter rail station but we ended up not using it because our CharlieCard weekly passes only cover commuter rails within zone 1A. Otherwise, its $5.75 per person per trip. The weekly passes ($19) did cover all subways and local buses so we were able to take the 32 Bus to Forrest Hills and take subways from there.
