Candace offers hospitality that's top notch. Before I arrived she asked if I drank coffee or tea and what I preferred for breakfast so she could have some things in the fridge. This made my mornings very easy before I ventured out for the day. She was also fast to respond to questions I had before arriving. Candace's place is very clean and comfortable. The bedroom is relaxing and a perfect place to unwind. The bathroom has some amenities as well and I love that the bathroom was only for my use. Candace has plenty of maps and tourist info to share if needed. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe in her home. I also felt comfortable and safe walking to her house from Harvard Square at night - of course one should always be aware of their surroundings. The area where her home is offers beautiful walking explorations. There are local shops and restaurants in walking distance as well. I highly recommend Candace's place.
