Gema is such a nice host that she asked me about my purpose to Boston and tried her best to realize a comfortable and nice stay in Boston. She even printed out a guidance of how to spend my days in Boston and hand drew a map about the nearby cafes that I can get breakfast. We spent numerous texts in discussing the best way to arrive the house and she cared me just like a family member, which is really warm for me when I travel along and first time in US.

The house is very big and the room is at the top floor. If there is lots of luggage, please bear in mind that there are several steps to go to the room. The room is very nice and the bed is very comfortable. Gema changed the thick duvet for me when the temperature got cooler. She also prepared soft and thick towels for me.

The bath room is shared with hosts but there is a separate one if this one is occupied. I will suggest Gema to put more photos about her house instead of just this simple picture of the bed. The house is very nicely decorated and you can feel that this is a house that people live in, which is the biggest difference from a hotel room.

The location is good and safe. Cambridge is secure and just walk 5 minutes is the Lechmere station. Also, there is a shopping centre nearby, which is not crowded as those in the city. The science museum could be reached on foot and it is the spot I took the duck tour. The bus 69 could reach to Harvard easily.

My expectation of using Airbnb is just like to stay in a friend's home. It involves the interaction with the host (local people) and experience the local culture throughout living. I feel Gema's house just fulfills my expectation. Definitely I will recommend it to anyone who visit Boston and if I have chance, I will stay here again!
