My boyfriend and I are very happy that we chose to stay with Hilary, Hazel, and Aggie while we were in Boston this past weekend. We were in town for job interviews and a conference at the Hynes, and it was so nice to have a quiet, warm, and friendly place to retire to at the end of each day. As we were trudging around the city in the cold, I kept envisioning our cozy little room and wanting to go back to it asap, it was so inviting! I had never done the "private room" option on airbnb before, since I imagined it might be awkward-- well, this was not awkward at all! The vibe at the house is very comfortable, and we felt right at home. The whole family is so nice; we enjoyed chatting with Hilary in the morning while getting our breakfast, and as you will read about in the other reviews as well, Aggie is the sweetest, most friendly dog you can imagine (this coming from a self-professed "cat" person-- I would love to have a dog like Aggie any day!). As for the location, that was great too. Transportation to the convention center was super easy and took about 20 minutes (the bus is right down the street, and it comes all the time). The subway is just as close too, making it very easy to explore anywhere around the city. We also really liked downtown JP, just a very short walk away.
