JG's place was very comfortable. We felt safe in the quiet, charming residential neighborhood, even walking home somewhat late in the evenings when it was getting dark. The place was impeccable in terms of cleanliness. Sometimes Airbnb mattresses can be soft and lumpy. These were firm and comfortable. Two notes: if you are a light sleeper and brighter environments wake you up, bring some sleeping eye patches. The windows in the bedrooms are tall and beautiful and have good quality blinds on them, but they are not blackout blinds and I woke up early because of the light streaming in. My husband and daughter had no issues, though. Also, there are air conditioning units in the windows of both bedrooms. So, the bedrooms have air, but the main living space do not. This was not an issue for us as it was in the mid-70's when we visited, but it might get a little warm if Boston got hit with high temps when you are visiting. Also, the air units are the type that are not on consistently, but turn on and off depending upon when the ambient air hits a certain temperature. So, as is the case in some hotel rooms, you'll hear the units go on and off through the night. Again, if you are not that much of a light sleeper or have earplugs, should not be much of an issue. Finally, JG's place has a nice entrance way where you can hang your coats and store your boots and shoes. This is great for those more inclement times of year. We've been to Airbnb's where there there is no entry storage. Would be a lovely cozy place to visit in the fall, winter and spring. Half mile or 10 minute walk to Porter Square (T station), where there are drugstores, a good Thai restaurant (Sugar and Spice) and a good health food store. Also a nice cozy cafe (Cafe Nero) to do quiet reading or studying. We also went to Gran Gusto, a charming Italian resto about 10 min walk from JG's. We recommend it, as well as JG's place.
