Sorry for the late review, just returned last night. We had an absolutely wonderful time in Massachusetts beginning with our initial stay in Boston at Paul and Larry's delightful little nest. It is exactly as in the pictures, a comfortable no frills, second floor flat in an older building. The kitchen is well stocked and the morning light and balcony offer a nice retreat for morning coffee ( weather allowing of course) . The neighborhood is transitional but we felt comfortable and safe and it is very central and easy to get around. Both Paul and Larry were very welcoming and had time allowed we could have talked the night away with Larry when we met up with him. We felt it was a good deal and would certainly stay with them again ( and catch up) when in Boston.
