Staying at Lisa and John's place was amazing! The neighborhood is great, green, quiet, safe, and easy to reach by public transport. Unfortunately, we didn't meet Lisa, but John was there to let us in. John also made sure we had everything we needed, like some cereal the first morning, fresh towels and linen, free organic tomatoes and zucchini's fresh from the garden, even though he had a pretty busy week at work. Apart from that, John is also a really nice host, with lots of interesting stories and tips on what to do while in Boston. We had some great conversations, while the two easy going cats were lazily hanging around.
We (my SO and I) had a great week here, and would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to visit Boston!
