Gosia's place was exactly what I was after. She was the perfect host and was always making sure I had everything I needed. Her place is in a quiet street and right near the pond for a nice walk/run. There's a couple of great cafes and restaurants in the area. And it's only a 15 minute drive to Back Bay and 10 min to Harvard Square and all the restaurants there. Great quiet location but close to everything you might want. I stayed a month and ended up extended to 3 months for my whole stay. Anyway, Thank you Gosia for the home away from home. I miss it already.
