We wanted to see the classic Boston homes (big fan of This Old House), and this fit the bill. It's a charming place with large master and two smaller rooms for the kids, in a neighbourhood full of the architecture we were interested in.
Our host was excellent - everything was very easy, welcoming, and prepared for us.
Only ~15 minutes from Downtown Boston, so a great location for our trips to the Aquarium, Salem, and historic Boston.
