Robert was an excellent host. I had a late flight into Boston and was taking public transportation to his house; he was kind enough to allow me to show up after 10pm. He gave a tour of his home as soon as I got in and offered free range throughout while I was staying there. The room was more than enough space for me. There is a closet to hang all your clothes in, as well as a dresser for anything else. The bathroom is not connected to the room. However, it is just outside of the bedroom door, and it is indeed a private bath. He has a convenient desk in the room which was a perfect "home office" away from home with my laptop connected to the wireless Internet. It sure came in handy when my flight home was canceled! I had to rush to the airport to try to leave a day early and get out of Boston before a blizzard hit, and Robert said he would keep the room as is in case I was unable to catch an earlier flight.

I spent most my time exploring the city and visiting friends in the area, so I didn't spend much time (except to sleep) in the house. It is pretty close to the T station which made going into Boston very easy, even while it was snowing. Robert was also helpful navigating me around town when I was questioning if I was taking the right trains. It cut quite a bit of travel time off my day.

One other note: If you start to play with the dog, be ready to play for a while! Rocco loves to fetch and then lay it at your feet to throw again.
