I stayed for a weekend course at Lesley University (two nights). The house was easy to find and Deborah helped me carry my million bags upstairs.
She has a clean kitchen with snacks and fruits to share and beautiful art work around the house from a variety of populations. The bedroom is bigger than I anticipated from the advertisement. TV, a desk with plenty of space, decent closet, and the best bed ever. When you are traveling for reasons besides pleasure, the comfort of the bed is almost the most important thing. Delighted with the simple act of placing a few chocolates on my desk to the aromatherapy little sacks (not sure what they are called, but fits in your hand and is filled with wonderful smelling beads). The bathroom is clean, stocked with towels and the such, and pretty much yours (she has her own upstairs).
The internet had a strong signal and the heat could be adjusted as you like. Blankets were clean, there were extra blankets and pillows, and there were no signs of other guests staying there.
The area felt safe for a mid-twenties female roaming the streets at late hours during the weekend, which is always pleasant. Lock the door leaving and lock the door coming in creates another level of safety to this place.
If you have time, talk with Deborah! I wish I had more time to do so myself. With more weekend courses in my future, I hope that Deborah is still renting out a room because I would love to go back!
