I have only words of praise for John as a host and the accommodation I was provided at this condo. He met me at the subway station closest to his condo (it was after 9pm). The neighbourhood is quiet and safe, a bus and a subway station close to his condo, which makes commuting to different areas in Cambridge and Boston really convenient. If you're keen on walking like I am, it takes around 35-40 minutes to walk to Harvard University. John did his best to make me feel welcome there and comfortable. When I needed privacy and time to work on my paper and email colleagues at work back home I had a feeling as if I had been alone in the condo even if John was there working on his own projects. But I have to say that above all I really enjoyed talking to him over breakfast or at any time when we both had time. John told me some interesting facts and stories about Cambridge, Boston and the surrounding areas. We are both arts lovers so I appreciated John sharing his music experiences with me, talking about theatre, but also travelling and discussing different current issues in the world. It is really up to you whether you want to have different conversations with John or not, there's no pressure. I'm also grateful to John for connecting me with one young Boston based theatre maker who is willing to share his work with me and is happy to read my paper on migrant theatre I presented at the ACLA 2016 conference. There are still so many places to visit and things to see in Cambridge/Boston and if I ever go back, I will definitely contact John and stay at his place again.
