I was attending a conference and wanted an affordable place just like home where I can breathe fresh air in my morning walk to the subway, see the green, and watch the locals out with their dogs in the morning. Marion’s place fit all of these and I had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and one can easily access a few parks, walking/biking trails, and the T. There are several inexpensive eateries and stores on Mass. Ave., which is only a short walk from the house.
I appreciate the ability to stay up late in a home-like environment, with ready access to hot water for tea, a microwave for warming up food, and a friendly but aristocratic cat that is willing to be pet. Marion does not mind guests leaving early and come back late and would leave the front porch light on for me when I came back late. In addition to recycling, Marion also compost so I was glad that my stay left very low carbon footprint.
As mentioned on the site, Marion is a superhost and she was very welcoming. She communicated quickly and is ready to offer advices. Her directions to the house was one of the most complete that I have read, with many pictures. I would stay here again in the future.
