I felt so welcomed in Josh and Whitney's home for my last minute trip to Boston. They are an active young family so I recommend loving kids and dogs -who doesn't? : ) When the whole gang is around it is noisy but during regular sleeping hours the house was peaceful and I slept great. The bed is comfortable and the pillows...I didn't know I want new pillows until I slept on theirs! The basement space and bathrooms are amazingly clean - when I had young kids everything was sticky! I loved the snacks they had for me when I arrived late at night. The area is wonderful. There are great spots to eat a short walk away: Milkweed for breakfast, The Canary Square for a great burger and beer, The Mission and Penguin Pizza are two favorites as well. If offered a home made cookie from Whitney, take it!!!
