Welcome to our home!

We love hosting people, and want you to feel happy here.

General House Stuff:

Free, blazing-fast WiFi in the house.

Plentiful on-street parking with a visitors permit.

No pets in the house (although we do love animals) for those of you with allergies.

Your Room:

There is a new, comfortable, sturdy queen sized bed for you to sleep on, a desk for you to use your laptop on, and closet shelves for your stuff.

You also have your own space heater with its own thermostat setting to keep you as warm as you like during the cold winter months.

The Kitchen:

You are welcome to prepare meals and use anything and everything you can find in our kitchen. We have pots of all sizes and a couple of cast-iron pans for frying or broiling.

There is also a toster oven, a tea-kettle, and even a blender if you like to make smoothies - but no microwave (not yet).

Food:

We will have a seperate shelf in the fridge for your use. Also, when we make dinner, we will likely invite you to eat with us.

Getting around:

Buses to Davis Square and Sullivan square are right around the corner.

Harvard Square, Central Square, Downtown Boston and a host of other destinations are within easy reach of the Sullivan Square Station.

If you feel energetic, you can walk to Sullivan Station, straight along Broadway, in about 12 minutes - usually faster than trying to catch a bus.

If you have any questions, please feel to get in touch and ask.


P.S. So no one gets confused, Alex and Olivia are co-hosts. Depending on when you come visit, one of us might be here, and the other one might not.

  • Olivia's place is great, particularly for the price, it is just down the road from Sullivan T station so it only takes 15 mins to get into the centre of the city. Great stay!

  • Recommanded to everyone, Olivia is really nice and very helpful AAA+

  • This is my first time trying Airbnb, and I'm glad that I started it at this place because it was a great experience. I was a bit worried about the location since I was not very familiar with Boston nor Somerville and I was not sure whether it was a safe place for a 20 yrs-old girl to walk from the station at night. And it was! It is located in Hispanic neighborhood along the big street "Broadway" so there were people always on the street and it was quite safe to walk. It is also close from the downtown Boston, only a few T stops away, which was a great merit. I even walked to Cambridge from the host house (but don't try unless you are a BIG wanderer like me) so it was great. Olivia and Dina were also very nice, I didn't get to see them very much because I was back early at night, go to bed before 11pm, up by 7am and took off. But they did not care me coming in and out, and welcomed me in a hearty way on the first day, so it was very nice :)

  • This place is remarkably clean, calm and indeed warm (plus it has fast wifi as it says). The orange subway line is at a walkable distance from this place and it will get you downtown quite fast. Above all, Olivia is a great host with whom you can have interesting discussions. Highly recommend.

  • Room was just as described, clean, comfortable, and with wifi access. There were no working power outlets in the room, but that's no big deal. The host was friendly, if not particularly solicitous, but that suited me fine.

  • I had an excellent stay. Olivia was very cooperative and even agreed to let me in earlier than the 6pm check in time. She was able to let me check in during lunch time during her work day. The room is very nice and the house itself is clean and quiet. The location was very convenient for me as she had a guest parking permit and there was plenty of street parking available. All in all a great stay and I would definitely recommend her place to anyone looking for a nice room in Boston.

  • This was my first airbnb experience and overall I enjoyed staying at Olivia's. ++'s + clean room + friendly hosts + quiet location + wi-fi Internet --'s - quite far from the metro line, about 15 minutes walk - the bathroom is a little worn out

  • I had a good visit. Olivia was friendly and helpful, and the room is big and warm. The house is about 10 minutes walk to the metro, which made getting around really easy.

  • Olivia was amazing to stay with! The room was super comfortable and it was even warm during the cold winter nights. I had a very lovely time and enjoyed my stay so much thanks to such a great host! I'd love to come back to visit on my next trip to Boston!

  • Alex and the roommates were very nice and helpful. I would recommend the experience above a hotel because it is less isolating and you have friendly people there who know the city well - and can give you their helpful recommendations. One of the roommates was nice enough to ask if I would like to have dinner with them. The room was spacious. Just be aware that the bus/train pass was shared with other roommates. So keep in mind that you may not be able to use it all the time. But I'm sure if you ask for it, they can give it to you.
