John is a great host, accommodating and open to negotiations. The house is a 3 stories oldtimer transformed in a multi-room hotel like a number of similar houses in the area. There are a few guest rooms on each floor. Suggest that the future guests keep quiet in the house as the audibility in the building is greater than average, each step and each cough/snooze is well heard on all house levels. For your grocery shopping, suggest bypassing the CVS and visit the Target just a block further on Mass Ave, for better prices, service and cleanness. Enjoy your stay in Boston!
