This is a great alternative to staying in a very pricey downtown Boston hotel. Shervin's home was very clean. The beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. It’s just minutes from the Seaport District and other Boston area attractions. My only complaint: very limited parking. Unless you need a car to get out of the city to places like Cape Cod or New Hampshire or Maine (as we did), I’d suggest using Uber or Lyft to get around, or alternatively public transportation. (There's a Boston T Red Line station fairly close.)
The home is a newly renovated older house. The living space is spread over 3 floors, with a kitchen, living room and bathroom on the 1st floor, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the 2nd floor, and a 3rd bedroom on the 3rd floor. (The stairways are narrow, so keep that in mind... It can be an effort to get luggage upstairs.) The kitchen is newly remodeled/updated, with a very nice gas range, oven, microwave, french press coffee maker, and refrigerator. There were some very thoughtful touches: Shervin left a bottle of wine, cereal, tea, and coffee for us. Additionally, her South Boston neighborhood has quite a few restaurants and stores nearby. There were 5 of us visiting Boston (two couples and a single), and we were all very comfortable in Shervin's home. We all had a wonderful stay!
