Lori is a warm and friendly host. Her communication leading up to my visit was prompt and she is very easy to talk to and full of recommendations of things to do. The room and the house are exactly as pictured, and a lovely place to call home while in Boston. The room is cozy and the bed comfortable, and there is a desk for travelers like me who need to get some work done. Lori provides many options for breakfast, which I appreciated very much! If she happens not to be around, there are labels all over the house to help, e.g. which food items in the kitchen are for guests, the hot tap is on the right and the cold tap is on the left in the shower, etc. The location is perfect if you want access to greater Boston, but prefer to stay somewhere quiet and with character. The T is a short walk, and so are grocery stores, restaurants, and Mike's Fitness, which I highly recommend if you're looking for a gym during your stay. When I come back to Boston, I will be staying here.
