What a fantastic place! My traveling companion was doing academic work at Harvard, and Mary Ann’s place was not only perfectly located, but also had a separate office area where he could work in peace. The area had three sides with windows that allowed for great sunshine and views on the neighborhood, all enhanced his work. He also was visiting a friend at MIT, and this house was also perfectly located for easy access there. The neighborhood had great restaurants, stores, coffee houses, bars, etc, within easy walking distance. The house is comfortable and open, with great woodwork all around. As a special treat, Mary Ann has a neighborhood walking tour that gives one an excellent historical insight into the area. This is also Tip O’Neill’s old neighborhood, of special interest to those with an historical bent. I would love staying there again if I go back to Boston area.
