Our host made us feel welcome. The neighborhood was great, easy access to Boston U and Whole Foods. Two problems did surface -- the first night we had no heat so it was a really, really grim cold night. After consulting with our host the second and third nights had heat and were great. The second problem was one of the layout of the apartment - great for two people, not so great for our three as the third person sleeping on the couch had to go through the bedroom to reach the bathroom.
