Very nice and clean house

Liked:We had the friendliest host, thank you Nancy. She provided some bread for breakfast and snacks. Very nice and clean house with a kitchen. Big room with a bathroom. Short walk to the subway station.

Disliked:This beautiful old victorian house can be a bit noisy. It was a pricey stay during Boston Marathon.
