I had a conference to attend at Harvard. Unfortunately, all the hotel rooms were booked up (not to mention ridiculously expensive). I found Deborah's house near campus and made the decision to stay with her.

An awesome decision.

Deborah is so sweet and accommodating. She waited up for me when I arrived late. I was starving, so she let me chow on some Cheerios. She showed me around and is very generous in the use of her place. She even had the air conditioner put in during my stay because it was unseasonably warm in Boston.

The room was perfect for my needs. The room is a little smaller, so if you're traveling with more than a few, it might be a little squeezed. Perfect for solo and couples, though. The room has a desk you can work at and some storage for your clothes and stuff.

The location is perfect. You're a 5' from the north end of Harvard's campus. The Porter Station subway stop is a short walk away. There's a grocery store, coffee shops, bars, restaurants all a very short walk from her street. The neighborhood is so charming, you'll find yourself just wandering around to look at the architecture.

Simply put, Deborah's amenities and hospitality made me wish I was staying longer than two days. I went intending on it being a short trip, but I found myself wanting to stay longer. If you're looking for a place to stay, look no further and book her room now.
