Irene’s place is absolutely lovely! It is about 13 min walk from the Harvard square so if you’re visiting Harvard, it’s a great location! I was a bit nervous at first because it was my first renting a private room, but Irene is absolutely lovely and she is one of the most welcoming hosts ever! I had so much chatting with her while living at her place! She also has a lovely house with lots of common area to read and hang out! Would definitely come back again next time I visit Boston!
