This was a great location for staying with a small child -- just half a mile from the subway, and half a block from a playground (with sprinklers!) Proximity to Whole Foods was also a plus.

Our hosts were incredibly helpful -- for example we needed to print Red Sox tickets and preferred to skip Kinko's if at all possible, and while their own printer was broken they called a neighbor to have them printed and walked them up to us. They also offered to lend us an umbrella stroller to take to the game if we needed it. We didn't, but we appreciated how thoughtful they were.

The back porch is really lovely; the kitchen and main bedroom are both wonderfully spacious. We did have one unique problem because one member of our party is 6'7", and the ceilings were a bit low for him -- he actually couldn't stand up in the kitchen, though it was close. But for anyone under 6'4" or 6'5 (in other words, almost everyone, including the others in our party!) it's a lovely place.
