We had a wonderful 5 day stay in Boston at Hannah & David's home. They were very accomodating to have their home clean and ready for us. The house is a lovely Victorian home built in the 1800's. The craftmanship and artistic touches complement this spacious comfy home. We were very comfortable and able to relax and make dinner nightly after visiting the city all day. The home is just a few steps away from the MBTA subway station. We opted to purchase a week pass that included the subway and buses making getting around Boston very easy. We literally parked our car in the driveway and only used it again when we left. The garden is full of fresh produce that we added to meals. We especially enjoyed the mint and the variety of tomatoes. The neighborhood was amazingly quiet and just a few houses away from a bustling street with grocery and other shops. I highly recommend Hannah & David who were fantastic hosts and their home is in such a great location if you plan to visit Boston, Massachusetts.
