Penny was extremely kind and welcomed us into her home with open arms. Her accommodations were beautiful and the location is perfect (right near metro stops and bus stops). The neighborhood has plenty to do (i.e. shops, food, parks). She was eager to share her own personal kitchen with us and even made us coffee and let me eat some of her fruit after I finished my marathon. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay within the city-limits of the greater Boston area.
