I never met Safia in person, but we communicated a lot via email/text. She was a great host and answered all my questions about the apartment.

I came to Boston for a business trip and the location was fantastic. It only took me about 5 minutes to walk to work and only another 2-3 minutes to go shopping. There was a subway stop just a couple blocks away too. I felt safe in the neighbourhood at all times, including walking around at night (can't say the same for walking through Boston Common after dark though!)

The furniture in the apartment wasn't the most comfortable, but I figured as much based on the pictures of the place. It was fine since I wasn't intending to staying in too much during my trip to Boston.

My only advice for other guests is to bring your own face cloths and facial tissues as these are not provided.
