Tina is very kind, warm and accommodating. She also drives a Lyft and gave me a great tour of the some of the off-the-beaten track sites in Roxbury and other neighborhoods.
The second-floor room was clean and quiet, the bed comfortable, and just steps to the bathroom and shower. Tina has cats, but somehow my allergy wasn't triggered. Her place is great for the budget traveler, and an easy 15 minute walk to commuter rail, in a safe, quiet neighborhood about 20 minutes (once you're on the train) to downtown Boston.
