Christiane is a gracious, accommodating hostess. She served breakfast every morning and, while the kitchen was not available to us, she provided snacks and would prepare coffee or tea if we saw her in the afternoon or evening. Christiane provided abundant tourism information, maps, bus schedules, etc and even museum passes.

The location is wonderful; within view of the Bunker Hill monument, around the corner from the bus stop and about 0.5 mi from the T station. It's a quiet, residential neighborhood of charming row homes.

The spiral staircase to the waterfall bedroom is very narrow and rather steep and probably would not accommodate anything larger than a carry-on suitcase. The house was built in 1885 and has lovely stained-glass windows. There is very limited floor, counter and shelf space available since there are many pieces of furniture, collectibles and household items. The TV/DVD players in the living room and bedroom and extensive DVD collection are available to guests. Christiane made us feel very welcomed and we thoroughly enjoyed our Boston visit.
