Connie is a sheer delight. Welcoming and friendly, she opened her home to me and made me feel right at home. My room (and the house) was clean and warm. Connie made a fridge shelf of breakfast food available for Air B&B guests, as well as coffee and tea. She even sets the table with plates etc for the morning - and it's these little touches which make the difference.
She has two cats (just in case this makes a difference to you)
The location is nice and quiet and about a 10-15 min walk to Harvard Sq station which takes you straight into the centre of Boston in about 20 mins. Cambridge is a pleasant area with a number of nice bars and restaurants close by.
If you don't want to be in the centre of Boston but be able to reach it easily, Connie's place is a v good choice.
