I had the joy to stay with Judy and Callie (the dog) for several weeks. I can wholeheartedly recommend that place. Judy is a wonderful person and I felt welcomed from day one. With here knowledge of the city and the surrounding areas I explored places I wouldn’t have been gone to otherwise (The Institute of Contemporary Art for its breathtaking view on Boston Harbor or Cape Cod. What a wonderful place.) I was even invited to join her with her friends for a sailing tour which was very exciting (as I never sailed before). If I needed anything, she was here to help me out. And Callie is such a sweet dog who loves to be petted and played with.
The rooms were clean, the bed very comfortable and the interior of the whole house has a lovely charm and is very cozy. The area is very quiet (so you can have restful sleeps at night) and feels very safe. If you like to run, it’s a perfect place as well as you can have a run around Fresh Pond, Russel Fields or Danehy Park as those are all close by.
You can walk to the next subway station in about 10 minutes. From there the Red Line takes you directly to city center of Boston in about 10 to 15 minutes.
I had a very great time there and recommend it to everyone who wants to stay in Boston or Cambridge. I would definitely stay there again.
