Sandy does, indeed, offer a very clean, tastefully decorated space! Toiletries and bottled cold water are generously provided. The beds were comfy and, overall, the location was very quiet. Stairs are steep....for those who may need to know this! Communication was punctual and informative....we had absolutely no difficulty with entry. For a price-conscious stay in the Boston area, I would definitely recommend Sandy's beautiful place. After reading other reviews, we decided to drive into the city rather than take the trains, so I cannot comment on public transportation, but the drive in was not lengthy nor congested per our experience. Thank you, Sandy, for sharing your beautiful home with us! (As an aside, our 7 1/2 trip turned into a 9 1/2 hour trip due to rush hour traffic/construction in CT. Starving, we ate at the Fairmont Grille...about 3 miles away...before arrival. Would definitely recommend!)
