I know a lot of hosts get 5 star reviews, but Shelley is a woman who truly deserves it. She was warm, welcoming, chatty, and more than willing to share local knowledge. She even let us use her membership to the museum of fine arts!
The house was lovely and quiet, and we had the use of two separate rooms for sleeping and relaxing. It's also right by a subway station, so travelling was a breeze.
The area is nice too, with plenty of cafes and eateries for simple snacking after a day of exploring boston.
