Barney was very friendly and welcoming. It really helped that he is a native of Boston as he knows what the city has to offer and is very happy to share. The room was very comfortable, the neighborhood was safe and the metro station was only a 5 minute walk from their home. For me it's always fun staying in a neighborhood away from the main sites as you get to see parts of a city that you wouldn't normally have the opportunity to see - and the location isn't far from these sites either. I would definitely stay with the Carney's again!
