This unique spot is perfect for anyone traveling through to visit Boston (10-15 min walk to the Savin Hill T) or just needs a nice place to stay for a short period.
Jessica was welcoming, responsive, and great with communication.
The house is quite interesting with loads of neat things to see and enjoy (e.g., pictures, furniture, games, guitars, etc.). It was fun to poke around a bit to see the unique items.
I stayed in the Balcony Room which has its own kitchenette complete with dishes, electric ovens, and hotplates. The fold-down murphy bed was quite comfortable and makes the room feel cozy when down and roomy when up. The balcony is a nice view of Dorchester and the South Boston area; nice for seeing the sunrise. It was a comfortable stay with everything I needed.
When there are neighboring guests around and you sense that, but it actually feels a bit more communal/homey in that way.
I was impressed with all the good places to eat around. There is a good Indian (Shanti), Mexican (Dora Taqueria), Vietnamese food (Ban Toi), and pizza place (Venice Pizza) all within a few short blocks' walk. (I didn't get to try Harp + Bard but it looked good too.)
Finally, parking was a breeze, which says a LOT for Boston!
