Cheery room near Harvard/MIT/Tufts

As my first ever booking experience with airbnb, Stacy surely set the bar pretty high for future hosts. Not familiar with the area, Stacy made sure I found my way around. She was always supplying the kitchen pantry with excellent breakfast options. She even left freshly baked chocolate chip cookies by my bedroom door one night when I arrived late from work. It certainly speaks in favor of her attention to details while at the same time allowing privacy and independence around the house. The apartment is very comfortable and cozy. Everything was extremely clean and organized. I recommend it 100% and would definitely go back should the opportunity arise.

5 on 5: We have stayed at BnB's in Europe & Asia and this was one of the Best experiences we have had. Our objective was to explore Boston and Stacy responded within minutes of our request. She helped us with directions, T lines and made our journey to her place effortless. We spent 2 nights & explored the heart of Boston. Stacy ensures her place has everything organized & available for weary travelers, even when she isn't present. There are guidebooks, a variety of breakfast options, 10+ kinds of tea and coffee and everything a traveller needs sans a tooth brush. The location is very convenient and close to 2 T stations: a short bus ride away from Sullivan station (avl until half past midnight) and Wellington station (esp. if you travel by car from the burbs). Also, there are a lot of Brazilian & Caribbean eateries (amongst other more conventional eateries) that make this neighborhood a melting pot of cultures. Note: It's a very safe neighborhood even at 1 am. The secret sauce of this experience was Stacey's immaculate planning and her skills as a host to provide for her guests comfort & well-being. Her house is more of a museum with pinball machines, 50's flash-firing cameras and several collectors items. We marveled at the unique objects & artwork that Stacy has carefully installed in her house. An added surprise is her beautiful cat: Sebastian, who is user-friendly & an absolute darling. You are likely to get a lot of love if you let her in your room :) To sum our experience, we had 2 wonderful nights & 2 amazing breakfasts (try the mango tea & English muffins) at a generous host's beautifully set home. Definitely recommended! Sam (and Del)

I didn't actually stay with Stacy but booked her lovely spare room for my brother-in-law and his girlfriend, a young 20-something couple from Taiwan. They don't speak much English but found Stacy to be friendly and hospitable and had a good overall experience. I met Stacy briefly and had a bit of a gander at the place and it seemed like somewhere I would be happy to have stayed myself. Thanks Stacy!

Really good experience on Stacy's house. I went over there just for a couple days on Boston, and it was really good. She is so friendly and so kind, and it is a really good option if you want to visit the city of Boston. Is just 10 minutes far from the downtown, taking bus and subway then.

This place was exactly as it was described ~ AWESOME! It was my first time with AirBnB and I hope Stacy didn't spoil us too much as her accommodations and hospitality will be hard to beat. She provided the perfect balance between clean/ comfort/ helpfull info and affordable, do-it-yourself privacy. Walk to bus is 3 blocks, which takes you directly to the Subway. She has info books and schedules in the room, as well as a computer base to do searches. THANK YOU STACY. I hope to be back!

Stacy is a very gracious host, and the room is indeed "Cheery" !

We had a wonderful time at Stacy's. Her place very clean and close to the T making access to the city easy. Her apartment was incredibly cozy. She was a warm and gracious host, leaving notes around to let us know where everything was and providing everything we could possibly need, from maps to wireless interent to fresh bread. The cat's were also wonderful :) We would definitely stay here again!

Both of us loves your apartment so much! And the dear cats as well! Though the location is a bit away from downtown, but we love the peaceful atmosphere of Somerville. Stacy is such a professional host, and the yellow-page-like document collection about transportation and attraction and food and everything in Boston is so impressive! Teddy even prefer staying in the apartment vs going out when we only have 2 days in Boston.

The house is very nice, breakfast fantastic, room is very nice and it has the perfect host. Everything went as planned and i think that is the most important thing. It was a really, really good experience that i would definitly repeat and recomend to anyone.

We loved this apartment! Stacy shares lots of information about attractions in the area, and her cats are very engaging.

I didn't meet Stacy but I was absolutely sure that she was a very very kind person. She prepared everything we needed for the trip, food, drinks, laundry,local guides. And the house was sweet! The cat was gentle. The place made our trip wonderful! :)

The host canceled my reservation 14 days before arrival.

My 3 friends and I really enjoyed our stay at Stacy's awesome, stylish apartment. It was my first experience using Airbnb, and right from the start she was very helpful and informative which made me feel reassured. Although I didn't get a chance to meet Stacy in person, my friend who arrived first found her very friendly and helpful and she even gave him a lift to the station. Her apartment was impressive, comfortable and perfectly set up for guests with 2 lovely cats to keep us company. I loved the breakfast selection and there was even a bottle of wine waiting for us in each bedroom! The bathroom was immaculate and the soap/shampoo/facial soap dispensers and hair dryer were super convenient. We also found the laptop left for our use very helpful also. I guess the only thing to bear in mind is that the nearest station is about a 20 minute walk away. Not really a biggie if you don't mind walking/bussing to the station. At the end of the day, Stacy's apartment really came through for us! We were in Boston as my friend was running the marathon and it was virtually impossible to find any reasonable accommodation at a price we could afford. It was a small twist of fate that we stumbled across Airbnb at the last moment and I think Stacy's apartment was far better than any other possible option hands down. Highly recommended!
