Manuela was a very friendly host. Would recommend getting in touch with her couple of days before arrival as she forgot the dates we were coming so our room wasn't ready for us yet. The house itself is basic, the kitchen and bathroom are shared with other guests and are quite small. The level of general cleanliness is not very high. However, it did us fine for a few nights and was in a great location - 10 minute walk from Carson Beach and right opposite the subway which is a 10 minute ride to the centre of Boston.
