Barney is a great host, very quick with responses, helped us to feel like family coming to stay. Was there when we needed him, yet we had all the "space" we needed. Good with suggestions, having been there so many years raising their family. Elegant, yet not pretentious accommodations. You meet so many great folks from around the world in multi room airbnb homes. Very conducive to making memories. Great location for Metro, but we used Uber.......didn't break out the rental car at all. Let them fight the Boston traffic! Close enough to downtown for either option.
