John was a great host and picked me up even late at the Metro station, which is about a 15 min walk from his place - though it feels much closer, because you are walking through a little park and green space area.
John is easy to connect with and has a lot of stories to tell. About other guests or Boston in general. We had breakfast together and a good laugh, especially on the last day. Definitely a moment that will stick to my mind whenever I think about the time in Cambridge.
I stayed the first night alone and had the comfortable bed. The next two nights some friends joint me and I had to move to the sofa, which worked out pretty well, too.
The neighborhood is quiet and cozy and so is the house itself. There is a Bus station close by, so you have different options to get downtown by public transportation.

So, all in all everything was fine and I had nothing to argue about!
I recommend staying at John´s when you are in that area!
