I had a great stay with Gema. I arrived quite late in the evening and she stayed up to greet me. Everything I needed was provided, and then some (e.g., Gema pointed out the cereal cabinet, gave me a transit card to use, and lent me an umbrella on a rainy day). The room is very spacious, and I found the bed to be really comfy (no futon or pull-out sofa stuff here!). Her house is on a nice, quiet street in East Cambridge, which is a pleasant 30-minute walk to the center of Boston (or a short cab ride). In short, I'd certainly stay with Gema again! Her cat is awesome, too.
