During my staying at John's place I felt like at home! The instructions how to get into the room were clear and once I arrived everything was already prepared for me :) ! The robe, home shoes, several towels, and even chocolate with bottle of water! Everything I needed was in the house. I saw John only once when I was leaving, he came to meet me personally and say goodbye :) The place is in a very convenient and quite place, just 10 mins walk from the train station which takes to the heart of Boston in 15 mins :) The neighbourhood seems to be safe :)... The room was very cozy and you can adjust the heating system as well. Ceiling was a bit to low, but you have to take it into account because this is a loft room :) And even despite this fact you can enjoy a beautiful view of the neighbourhood ^_^
Since the loft room doesn't have a door, be ready to become a heavy sleeper that's only one minus I can note during my stay... Otherwise, John is a very reliable and hospitable host, he also replied to my messages quickly :) I would recommend his place for stay in Boston :)
