  • We really enjoyed our stay at Hermina's! Hermina was really nice to us, always happy to chat for a while. I enjoyed chatting with her about her life in Boston. Her house is conviniently located, close to a metro station which takes you to Boston city center in 10 min. It is really quiet at night as well, you won't be disturbed during your sleep! The house is really pretty, and very large. I particularly appreciated the decoration in our room, Hermina put a lot of details in it, that makes it even more enjoyable, as if we were at home, and not in a hotel. I highly recommend this accommodation!

    Hermina was a great host :) We were here for the PAX East convention and the ride to and from was only about 20-30minutes...which was perfect. She fixed breakfast but we liked to sleep in a bit. The house was in a very safe place next to a police station. There are many different restaurants(Vietnamese,diners,Chinese,pizza,fast food) nearby, 10min walk to the tram/bus stations and the house is easy to locate. The house was very well kept and Hermina makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. Beds were a on the hard side but I slept like a baby. Other people were in the house as well so every once in a while you hear footsteps and floor boards creaking at night.

  • We loved to stay at Hermina's! We will definitely stay there again during our next get away week end in Boston.

  • Very welcoming, very accommodating. Definitely recommended.

  • I had a great stay. She was warm, friendly and the house was very clean and the bed was warm and comfortable. Very easy to get to by T and to get to Boston sights. I would definetly stay here again.

  • The location is very good, near the subway station. (red line) The house was clean and the room that I stayed was h;uge enough. Highly recommend this house for a couple or a family.

  • Hermina is very lovely and helpul. We had so many funny and great conversations that she made me feel like home! She even invited me to make a day trip with her north from Boston which was an unforgetable and funny time! Her house is really nice and cozy! The cta is just around the corner and you can find many restaurants and a supermarket as well. I really enjoyed staying in her house and sharing time with her. I hope to come back soon. Thanks for everything and big hug

  • Great house, great people, great location

  • Hermina seems like a very nice person who communicates will with prospective renters. Unfortunately I simply was not comfortable staying there because my tastes require a cleaner environment.

  • Nice house and good deal. Being close to the T was the best feature. My room was small, but that was neither a problem nor unexpected for $60.

  • About: I'm young working professional. I live in Boston last 15 years. Originally from Armenia. I have a beautiful Victorian house in one of the oldest neighborhood in Boston, Dorchester. The house is beautiful, big, clean and colors are my addition to it’s charm. I love colors you can see it in the pictures. I love traveling and I love the experience of meeting locals and one way of doing it is where do you stay. I share what I know about Boston with pleasure and sometimes I learn from travelers what they discover in Boston.
