Lorraine and Bob's home is very comfortable. The room is private down the stairs and away from theirs, so it's very quiet, and they never mentioned anything about me making too much noise. The location is less than 10 minutes walking from the end of the line of the E train, and there are several grocery and convenience stores in the area. My car was safely parked for free nearby as well. The only issue I ever had was the dreaded coronavirus pandemic which cut my stay short. Otherwise, their hospitality and kindness made living in Boston while working a pleasure.
