A friend and I stayed at Lori's in the attic "suite" for 7 days while we visited Boston for the first time. It was ideal. The space and amenities were great. Lots of room, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, etc. The location is a 5 min walk to the Orange T. With our $19 (we're seniors) week long Charlie Pass we traveled to and from airport and to every corner of Boston on the T. We also rented a car (Enterprise will pick you up) for 2 days in order to take day trips to Newport RI and Cape Cod. The local Jamaica Plain area is wonderful too - lots of good eating.
Highly recommend Lori's.
