Deborah is a wonderful host, and I highly recommend her place. I was in Boston for two weeks for a research trip, and her house was exactly what I needed. She lives in the house and rents out her guest room, so you have more privacy and quiet than you would in a larger Airbnb that hosts more guests -- bathroom all to yourself, and ready use of kitchen and public spaces in the house. The bedroom is spacious and well-lit, with plenty of extra blankets and pillows (and towels), a workspace, plenty of storage, and bookshelves full of good reading material. I like to cook for myself most of the time when I'm on longer research trips; Deborah's kitchen has all of the utensils and equipment you might need, and she offers to share cooking staples, as well as providing tea, coffee, and breakfast food. The location worked perfectly: a quiet street about a 12-15 walk from both Harvard Square and Porter Square, and a few short blocks to the grocery store and laundromat. And finally, Deborah is a lovely person; she enjoys chatting with her guests and getting to know them, but she is never intrusive. If I'm planning an extended stay in Boston in the future, I will absolutely try to book her place.
