Our 20 year old daughter needed a safe and comfortable place to stay this summer while in Boston working and rowing on the Charles River. Charles's house was nearby her work and training venues and was perfect for her two month stay in the city. She was able to shop at nearby grocery stores and cook most of her meals in the modern and cheerful kitchen, which is adjacent to the laundry area. The sunny back deck with table and chairs is a quiet spot to have morning coffee or an al fresco dinner, and mature trees shade the fenced back yard. Because of the house's hilltop location, the bedrooms are breezy with picturesque views. The living room and dining room are elegantly furnished and comfortable for eating and relaxing. Charles is a very accommodating and responsive host, and we plan to stay at his house the next time we're in Boston.
