Connie was a great communicator and fantastic host during my weekend stay (during a professional workshop). The room has beautiful wide plank floors, very comfortable bed (soft sheets, warm comforter), and lots of light. Easy, short walk to Harvard and Mass. Ave restaurants and coffee shops, etc. Picked up dinner, came back and ate at the kitchen island. Parking permit for on-street parking! Safe neighborhood boasts some Victorian/Colonial architectural gems and is very quiet. I felt like I was visiting with a friend; Connie is interested, but not pushy - very easy person to hang with (an artist). Connie is flexible and accommodating - was able to leave my luggage until my conf. was over. (Had a special treat in that a Dutch astronomer was a guest at the same time and to stave off jet-lag, he gave us a fascinating "presentation" (to answer all of our questions) - about black holes - an extra gift!) It's a shared bathroom, but that wasn't a problem. Would definitely stay here again!
