Staying at Katie's place was my first place at Airbnb and I strongly recommend her place for beginners or seasoned guests. My wife and I chaperoned a group of 6 students and 1 mom to present at a conference in Boston and the place was really comfortable. Location is perfect for driving to downtown Boston to the convention center and public venues as it's a straight run to Storrow and Memorial drive along the river. The place was really clean, the materials of the linens and sheets were very comfortable and the towels new and sparkling white clean. House is well ventilated and woodwork is all new. I have been to 44 countries - 24 of them in Europe - and have stayed in really nice houses. I recommend this place to any group over a hotel.
