I loved to stay at Kimeshas! I had a cosy room, perfect bed (the matress was incredible comfortamble), kitchen access, very good internet connection. In the area you have some small grocery shps and McD. Kimesha was very helpful, whenever I needed sth or asked her for things I needed she helped me. The family has sweet kids who are communiction masters for their age. I stayed lesser than I planned and Kimesha gave me the difference in cash that was great of her! I guess not every host would do that! The district is not very close to the city center Boston or Cambridge. However, there are very good connections and one of them is perfect: you take bus number 45 from ruggles and get off almost in front of the house. I did not feel myself unsafe in the area as other review describes. And I am also a white girl. The district is called Roxbury, and in safety ranking is not the best one.However, it does not mean that you should not go there. It is just different than the the city parts we know with big shopping malls, shicky bars etc. It is a black and hispanic neiborhood. I stayed 10 days and I came almost every day late eve home and I never saw any dangerous situation. People war sitting outside, chilling and chatting did not tell me anything or show any type of harrasment or so. Kimeshas place is perfect for sb who needs some days and weeks till he/she gets the permanent place, like in my case. It was the cheapest option and would choose that again if I would come to Boston and would need to stay somewhere till I get my flat. So, i recommend folks, to choose staying at Kimeshas without hesitation! And thank you Kimesha for your hospitabilty!!
