About the Area
Just steps to the Red Line, and a straight easy trip to downtown, Umass, MGH, Harvard, MIT. Connecting to Longwood, Boston Medical and more. Located on a corner with a fenced in yard in a neighborhood of tree lined streets and lovely architecture. Walk to terrific restaurants, a convenience store, Irish bakery and pub. Because the house sits at the back entrance of the subway, there is the low rumble of trains entering and leaving the yard - but this also means you can enjoy your coffee in the kitchen and not head to the station until you see the train coming!

The light and airy clapboard house was a home from home. Its location, right by the subway station, was ideal for travelling to and from the centre of Boston. My lovely dual-aspect bedroom had a spotless bathroom across the landing with a walk-in shower. Moo couldn't have been kinder, more helpful and lovely.

We had a very pleasant stay, Moo is a charming and attentive host.
The room is spacious, the ensuite bathroom very well, clean with everything you need if you forgot something:-)
The Ashmont station of the T train (red line) is really close; certainly we hear it a little in the morning but it is really not annoying; it allows a very simple access to the center of Boston in 15/20 minutes, ideal to discover the different neighborhoods!
Thank you again to Moo for his welcome:-)November 2023
The room is large, clean and private. Arrival and other arrangements were easy and Moo's house is very quiet. Boston accommodation is pricey but Moo has a reasonable rate. I would seek out this property again if I needed a place to stay in Boston.

Moo is a very considerate and caring host with a lovely house in an attractive neighborhood, great lodgings and quick access to the metro. Looking forward to staying there again.

Moo was an excellent host! She made us feel welcome in her home and provided a beautiful space for us. She was accommodating when our move-out dates changed and was super helpful in sharing local recommendations. I would absolutely recommend staying at Moo's place.

Our stay was amazing, Moo is such a great host and made sure we had everything that was needed. The room and house cannot be any better really, cozy and comfortable, near to the red T station from where you can get pretty much anywhere, and near to a ton of places to eat and convenience stores. Would go back without even thinking about it.
