Had a great stay at Jimmy's house, it was very convenient having him living on the floor below to help with any inevitable situations that come up. He and his family are fantastic. The space was just as expected, and had plenty of room for our family of 4. Personally I loved the location and didn't mind the 12 minute walk to the T station. Once you master the bus system, it makes getting around even more simple. Easy bus ride to Harvard or MIT. Loved being so close to the movie theater and to good eats/drinks. You have to eat at the Friendly Toast (any meal) and if you're a craft beer nut like me, you have to go to Lamplighter (it's a 5 min walk). They had the best beer I tried in the Boston area except for Trillium.
