The house of Escher. The hosts are responsive and kind. Let's start with the stairs which are treacherous. When you open the main door to the home, which is the second door the stairs are very narrow and STEEP. The stairs to the third level are the same. When coming down you have to reach to down to your feet to turn the knob and open the door. The entire home is slanted. Our rolling suitcases had to be blocked at the wheels in order not to roll inside the house. The beds are tilted, like the house, and not very comfortable. The kitchen/family room areas are nice. The kitchen well stocked with pots and pans and all you need. Parking - is AWEFUL! Only street that has unlimited hours of parking is a 6-10 (depending on where you find a spot) walk away. Border street FYI. Otherwise it's 2 hour parking only all day long. Soup kitchen a few doors up with unhoused sleeping just outside. It is very close to the T and waterfront and Ferry and Blue Bike rentals so that's all great. For the price I would have preferred to rent two hotel rooms in downtown Boston. I wish the owners well they were great and responsive to the problems they could assist with. Had any of our parents been with us or if I was still in the boot I was in for the past 6 months we would not have been able to stay.
