The hosting family is wonderful, warm and welcoming. The studio is very nicely laid out, and everything I could possible have needed to enjoy my stay was generously provided. The one or two questions I had were immediately addressed. The yard is lovely and the neighborhood is quiet. The location near beautiful Fresh Pond means that nature is just steps away, but shops and all conveniences are within easy walking distance as well. I would gladly stay here again. It should be noted that young children live upstairs, so I sometimes heard the sounds of their footsteps and playing coming from above. The hostess made sure I was aware of this before I booked. This occasional noise did not bother me. Although the studio is in the basement of the house, the pleasant layout and good artificial lighting give it a warm and cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend this air b&b.
