Gema's place is at a great location for access to exploring the Boston area. It's a quiet and charming neighborhood. The house is old but very nicely maintained. Gema was quite hospitable, and Duke the cat was super chill when I did see him. This time I was traveling alone. My private room was in the attic along with some open cozy space. No one came upstairs so the sense of privacy was greater and I could hang out in the open area. The shared bathroom was nicely maintained and it was always available when I needed it. It is one flight of stairs lower but that didn't bother me. Overall it was a great listing. I would recommend and also seek out for future stays.
