Kitty was very sweet and welcoming and gave us advice as to where to get a quick bite to eat and how to get the bus and subway. Her home is in a quiet, safe neighborhood, a few minutes' walk to the bus stop. It only took about 15 minutes to Harvard, and maybe another 15 minutes to downtown Boston. Coming from New York City, I was pleasantly surprised at how organized the bus and subway system is. The room was very clean and comfortable and there is also a new and well equipped kitchen, and nice bathrooms.
We had a pleasant stay.
