Shelley is a wonderful host. She took me walk around the neighborhood and introduced the stores and restaurants to me. She even introduced me to the neighbors (which made me feel very inclusive) and helped me purchase the Charlie card! The house was very artsy and the room was spacious. The mattress was firm (which I like) and very comfortable. The location was great, just a couple of minutes walking to the T train station. The neighborhood was basically in a university town so I felt very safe outside after dark. Heidi was an energetic and cute dog. I enjoyed playing with her. I had a great stay at Shelley's place. I would recommend her place to other visitors.
