Paul and Larry have outfitted this unit with everything you need + fresh flowers and condiments in the fridge! It's a brisk walk to the red line subway and a very safe neighborhood, we were out after 11 pm and felt totally safe. We enjoyed the rear deck in the pretty weather. The hosts surprised us with champagne for our anniversary. We were fed up with Boston hotel prices, and I'm so glad we found this place. But....by far the best thing about this house is Paul singing opera in the late afternoon and early evening. I hope you are lucky enough to experience it. Plus, don't forget to pet Linus the cat if he shows up.
