Katie was super nice, hospitable, and interesting to talk to. Her place is just as she describes it: warm and welcoming. The house is charming, including the back yard, though I didn't have much time to hang out there. The room is nice and comfy. The weather was hot and sticky but Katie had several fans handy, and even a window A/C unit ready to put in. It's a short walk from the closest bus stop to get you to trains for easy access to downtown Boston. In about 20 minutes you can stroll to the center of Roslindale with lots of cute places to eat, etc. All makes for a pleasant and convenient stay. Oh, and Suki the cat is very cute!
