Place was clean and cozy on a nice quiet street. Neighborhood feels safe yet is also very close to metro station in one direction and several interesting restaurants in the other direction. (Highly recommend Tres Gatos! Possibly the best bite of steak I've ever had and that's coming from a Texan. And I never knew beets or lentils could be so good.)
Franklin Park and the Harvard Arboretum both offer nice walks, and the Sam Adams brewery is also very close.
Filtered water pitcher in the fridge is great for refilling your own bottle. Mattress and sheets were super comfortable. Oversized fluffy towels and down comforter felt luxurious as well.
Private deck is a nice place to enjoy your morning coffee. The deck and the large bathroom with chair provide a possible place for a night owl or early bird to hang out while their partner is sleeping, which is a nice bonus at this price point.
Host lives downstairs but honors your privacy unless you need help. Very responsive to messages.
Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Boston!
