Jessica was a fantastic host and was very flexible with the check-in process as we arrived later than we originally planned. She gave us a tour of the apt. and shared the history of the house, which added a personal touch. We also appreciated her recommendations regarding transportation, places to visit, restaurants to try, etc. The space is very open and roomy, and was well- equipped with everything we needed. She even had half-and-half in the fridge for our coffee! Downtown Boston is only a 15-20 minute drive away, and Harvard station is easy to get to via a 5 minute walk and a 10 minute bus ride. One thing to note (that is obvious from the description of the space on the listing) is that this is not a good option for anyone that struggles with stairs as there are 2 pretty steep flights to go up to the apt. Also, some of the doorways in the space are low since it is such an old home, which might not be ideal for anyone really tall. All that being said, Jessica's home is beautiful and the interior looks brand new and well-kept. I highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a place to stay outside of Boston but that still has local charm!
