I had a really nice stay at Ms. Althea's home. I had to cancel a different reservation due to it's distance from where I as working. Ms. Althea responded to my request quickly and waited while I settled things with the previous host. Once that was done, I was able to book this room right away. I was also able to drop my luggage ther before going to work, even though it was way before my check in time. I really appreciated that.
The house was quite clean. My room was homey, the bed really comfortable. There are shared bathrooms with showers and plenty of hot water. All linen is provided. The kitchen is open, and there is tea and coffee, as well as continental-type breakfast items. And if you enjoy socializing and meeting lots of new people, you'll definitely have the opportunity.
The neighborhood is residential and quiet. Getting to public transportation is a 12-minute walk to the main street. There are trolleys and buses there that bring you to the redline at Ashmont. You can ride the redline into the city from there. In total, the commute from the house to South Station is about 40 minutes.
I really appreciated Ms. Althea's quick response time, flexibility, and accommodation!
