I stayed at Jamal's place for a training I was attending at MIT. The place was walking distance from MIT and from the metro station, as well as many good coffee shops. The room was clean, the bed was big super comfortable, and there was a desk with a comfortable chair to read/study. It was a very quiet place so I could study and sleep without disturbance. There was also a dresser and mirror in the room and the house was well equipped to cook or just relax in the living room. I was able to check in without problems and Jamal allowed me to leave my bag in the living room earlier than 3pm (I arrived in the morning). I recommend Jamal as a host 100%!! Thanks!
