Had a great time staying with Nanette and Therman - they were very warm and welcoming. They gave great advice on where to go and how to get around the city and recommended a great vegetarian restaurant.
The room was bright, clean and had its own bathroom. Most importantly of all - in the cold New England winter - it was very warm. The size was perfect for my stay as I spent most of my time out. The house is excellently located and was close to the Subway station.
