I stayed at Natalie's house for a month while on a rotation for medical school. While it was a bit further away from the downtown area which I needed to get to in the morning, it was very easy to catch the bus or green line B to get to where I needed to go. There is a quaint Main Street about a 7 min walk from the house with a few nice restaurants and bars to hang out in. There is a Whole Foods about a 1 mile walk or 10 min bus ride away as well. The town is very residential, I think a predominantly orthodox jewish community, with lots of kids and families around so it felt relatively safe overall. There is a fire station nearby which added to me feeling safer, and did not have any issues with fire truck noises while I was there. The house itself is nice, and I stayed in the Boston room. The room was a very good size with a desk, large bed, good closet and drawers, TV, small mini fridge, and enough space for me to do some yoga too. The window for the room is facing the street and the porch of the house, so on occasion I would open the blinds and another resident would be sitting right next to my room, but wasn't a big deal just keeping blinds closed for privacy sake. Natalie was very kind and cleaned my sheets and towels multiple times throughout my month long stay which was very much appreciated. She also often helped me with figuring out the bus system and checked in to see how I was doing, which was very nice as I was all alone in Boston for the month. The house is a bit creaky with the floors, and this room in particular seems to be right below the stairs leading up to the en suite that is also rented out on the second floor. If noises don't bother you, then it isn't a big issue, but you can hear most of the footsteps and TV noises, just as an FYI for any light sleepers out there. While I was staying the entire house seemed almost always booked up, so you could be sharing the first floor with as many as 8 other people. There are two bathrooms which I never had any issue using, even with a few other guests staying there. There is a full kitchen (no fridge in the kitchen just in your individual room) which Natalie often stocks with some fruits, cereal, lots of Keurig coffee and tea, and utensils. I cooked on occasion and it was very easy and convenient. Overall my stay was nice and Natalie was very helpful and kind during my stay.
