Our stay at Nora's place was so nice! She communicated so well in advance, as well as making sure we had everything we needed. There were instructions when we arrived, as well as re-loadable buss/train passes, and small notes with instructions located near appliances and key areas. It is easy to find when driving in (from outside of Boston), and is a short walk to public transportation (train, buses) and near a lot of services (restaurants, stores, etc.).
There were small snacks and coffee left out for us. The shower was nice and hot with nice towels, the bed was very comfortable, and Nora has a fascinating collection of books!
We almost stayed at a hotel, but I am so glad we chose Nora's place instead!
