Gemma was quick to reply to all my emails as I finalized my plans for visiting my daughter in Boston. I needed simply a quiet room to overnight as we spent our time being tourists. Gemma's clean, quiet, third floor offered me that with the added bonus of a sitting room with many books. She keeps the space for when grandchildren visit so their toys were visible and neatly stored off to one side. The bathroom was clean and charming with the claw foot tub. It was a delightful stay. I will definitely recommend this to those who need a place to lay their head. A pay-it-forward Charlie card was waiting. She knew only that it was from a previous guest. I used it and added a bit to it for her next guest. She also left a current printout of things to do in Boston!
