Angela's place was perfect for us! The bed was comfy and the room was beautiful with lots of natural light. Having a private bathroom was a huge plus. Lots of street parking available. We didn't end up taking the T around on this trip, but we have previously lived in Dorchester and love the neighborhood. It is definitely more residential so you might have to travel to another Boston neighborhood for more "trendy" restaurants and things. Angela was a great host and her home is truly beautiful. Highly recommend!
