Nan and Therman are thoughtful, laid back, and excellent hosts on the whole. The room has a very comfortable bed and lots of pillows. The air conditioning worked well, and there were some great touches in the room like a container filled with little ceramic pots and kettles, which I appreciated. There is also a full length mirror, which was super useful. Same for the desk, and on the whole great use of space. The location is really great, and I had no problem walking a few blocks to get to MIT, and there's a great local brewery as well as a breakfast place, both filled with mostly locals, within a block or so. If you have time/energy, hosts also have some great life experiences that make for good conversations.
