I stayed at Barrie’s place for nearly two months while I was waiting for my lease in Boston to begin. The basement has a private entrance, shared with two other bedrooms. My room was large and accommodated everything I needed to store. Because of the wet summer weather, the basement smelled musty/moldy at times. This was usually fixable by opening the window, running a fan, and/or taking an allergy pill. Every issue that was brought to the hosts’ attention was immediately fixed, and they checked in to make sure that the issue had been resolved. The place was close to a bus stop that connected to the Orange Line - giving easy access to downtown. Roslindale is a great area with a farmers market, arboretum, and restaurants that I will be sure to visit after my move.
