Polly's home is just a bit off the beaten track in Dorchester. It's easy to reach if you have a car; a little more difficult if you have to walk from public transit.
She has a Superhost rating so when we approached we expected "super house". The front steps are not easy to negotiate but that may be because we are older. The front porch is super welcoming and comfortable , equipped with plenty of seating and decorated with little lights. The stairs inside were again a bit challenging and worn but our bedroom was lovely, the bathroom was well-stocked and really clean, and all rooms were clearly marked with guests' names. Polly's piece de resistance is her kitchen and breakfast. She makes fresh muffins in the morning and she has a super well-stocked fridge with water, juices, candy, yogurt, etc and in the morning she provides tea and coffee and juice and oatmeal and toast, etc. We really enjoyed Polly who is super hospitable and the other guests, too. She offers the quintessential Airbnb experience which is sharing space with locals...and others. Definite thumbs up!
