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 old 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.
My friends and I only stayed over at Hermina's for one night, but it was great. She was really sweet and gave us extra blankets and provided us with clean towels. The room was clean and cozy and the bathroom was really clean too. The location was very convenient and I would love to at Hermina's if i was ever in Boston again.
January 2012Hermina was very kind to me and my two small children. We stayed in the townhouse for about a week and were comfortable there. It is not fancy, but it is a very pleasant space with plenty of light. Hermina told me she was about to paint the rooms, which should be lovely when they are done. There is a subway stop about 2 blocks away and I felt reasonably comfortable in the neighborhood. I did not have any trouble parking on the street.
it was amazing to stay in Herminas house! :-) she's very nice and the house was just awesome. big rooms and everything you need. the stay there made our trip to Boston so enjoyable - Thank you Hermina!!
The place was very clean and nice. It was really convenient and nice for the price it is listed at. It is within a walking distance to everything. One thing that I did not like most was the neighborhood was not that clean! I did not feel secure at the beginning but since there is a police station right behind the house, we felt much better! Hermina is such a nice lady. She is very kind and she is willing to help. I recommend this place.
We enjoyed our stay in Hermina's house very much. Hemina is very nice. The house is clean , beautiful and conveniently located, only two minutes' walk from the subway. You can help yourself for breakfast and cook if you want.much better than a hotel.Definately recommend this place.
We are in love with Boston! Great city, great house, and absolutely wonderful host! Hermina is amazing! The house is really great and comfortable. Comfortable bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Highly recommended to stay if you wanna visit Boston. You can go to almost every important place in Boston by train and the station just 5 minutes walk from the house. We also got special "deal" as student :D Thank you very much Hermina! We really wish to visit Boston again someday, and your place is our... More »
my husband and I loved the place, everything was very neat and clean, cozy and with a lot of privacy. location was really close to the train station and small shopping mall. very convenience. even do we didn't get to meet Hermina we spoke with her on the phone and she was very friendly and helpful. will for sure visit again. thanks Hermina
Hermina was very sweet, but we were disappointed that there was no breakfast. There were some leftovers and opened containers of condiments in the fridge, but nothing for us to eat for breakfast besides several slices of bread, which we did not know how long had been there.
She is very kind and thoughtful. She gave me a sense of security. The house is near to the T and very easy to find. Happy Holiday! Hermina.
very close to the train station, and local restaurants, ample street parking. i can recommend a nice quiet stay and a helpful and friendly hosts. BILL L
A wonderful house, the best solution for visiting Boston!
Nice place to stay some days, near the train station and easy to find.
It was lovely, so much like staying with friends. We had a basement room but unlike another reviewer on here, I found it entirely pleasant - spacious, clean, and full of interesting books. The bathroom was quite close and just as clean, and most importantly it was warm. Also Hermina welcomed us to eat anything in the fridge, so we had a small snack when we arrived before heading out to find dinner. We had a chance to meet her the next morning over breakfast, and she was very warm and... More »
We loved to stay at Hermina's! We will definitely stay there again during our next get away week end in Boston.
My friends stayed there. She is pretty cool. The place is awesome!
This is a sub-divided house, with numerous guest rooms in the one building. It's really easy to get around the city, as the house is really close to a train station. And the room itself was quite large - your own TV, cupboard, sink, kettle and lots of room to sit around. Not sure about the other rooms in the house. There is also a shared fridge, bathroom and laundry. The room was very nice, but as we were on the basement level there was quite a lot of noise coming through the... More »
Four of us had the whole townhouse to ourselves! It was perfect with big beds for all of us. Hermina was very accommodating in every way including bed types, arrival and departure times. The apartment is located a stone's throw from Fields Corner station on the red line in a very safe neighbourhood probably because there is a police department right behind the house. An American Food Basket supermarket was located in the shopping plaza a block away where there is also a very well stocked... More »
Hermina was a great host. She was hospitable and very intellectual! Airbnb is also a good site for someone looking for lodging opportunities when traveling.
Interesting place to stay as a solo visitor with stimulating company and relaxed atmosphere. Hermina Sarkissian has enormous generosity of spirit. Janette Ray
Extremely convenient for traveling into Boston without a car. Nice, clean facilities in well-maintained house. As single female, felt safe and welcomed here. Excellent night's sleep. Good value-for-money.
Hermina's place is a great place to stay while visiting Boston. Convenient location right at the subway. Clean and nice place to hang out. Snacks and drinks provided. Hermina even made me toast and coffee in the morning.
Her house was lovely! She welcomed me warmly! I just stayed there one night but I had a great tea time with her ;)
excellent space, near transit (red line)
Unfortunately we didn't know Hermina personally but we spent a nice time in Boston. The house is great and the location is perfect.
We stayed for two nights. The location is excellent, in a residential suburb, but only 5min to the metro, and surrounded by excellent Vietnamese restaurants. The rooms are clean, and the shared bathroom is not a problem, as there is always enough hot water. There is internet and tv if you need a rest from sightseeing. The best part of the stay is the shared breakfast with Hermina and the other guests. We made many new friends from around the worl. Secret tip: Saigon Seafood on Adam St... More »
Perfect location! The house is really nice.
Hermina is a pleasureful person who is happy to provide you with an excellent room to stay while you are at Boston, I would recommend any-day!
Hermina is a lovely & generous host. The place feels a bit like a hostel, which can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for; use of kitchen & laundry in basement can be very convenient. To manage your expectations, be clear on what room you will be staying in.
Her house is very beautiful, everything is perfect: washing machine, dryer, TV, bathroom, bedroom, and you can use kitchen at anytime. Location is good, near subway (5 minutes walking) Hermina is very nice and easygoing host.
Very welcoming, very accommodating. Definitely recommended.
Hermina is a great host. Rooms was clean and very spacious.
Great person! very friendly and informative if requested. The house is full with friendly people and you can make yourself a great breakfast, the subway is near by.
Hermina was a very welcoming and helpful hostess and was happy to provide anything we needed
Nice and spacious room in a cozy house. Hermina is a great host. The "help-yourself" breakfast was great!
Hermina was an awesome host. She was warm, kind, and welcoming, and her statement about being your best friend that you don't know yet is right on the mark. She is always willing to chat with you in the evenings and offer tea and snacks. There was even one night that she had some friends over for a dinner and invited me along. It was a wonderful meal and she made me feel like I had known her for ages. The room and bathroom were also very clean and well kept. I highly recommend the place... More »
There is not enough space here to say all the wonderful things about staying with Hermina. She is a tremendously gracious host and makes you feel right at home. She will sit with you for breakfast (or margaritas), invite you for tea and make you feel like you're part of an extended (often international) family. She even went so far as to invite me to a dinner party she was hosting for friends in the main house where she cooked delicious Armenian meals. It was an absolute delight! The rooms... More »
gorgeous house free dinner nice host
Hermina provided a lovely townhouse apartment for me and my friend, Debbie. She was accomodating and had a lot of little extras, fresh fruit, cereal, etc. The place is centrally located, a block from the T Station and a local library branch, where we were able to print boarding pass. It was also right next to the Police station.
I was looking for a place close to the T and out of Bostons traffic, this place was perfect. After a little confusion as to which room we were staying, mis-communication mostly, My boyfriend and I stayed in apartment H, which was PERFECT! I would even love to live there if I could! I was a cute mini apartment that offered privacy, which is all we really wanted. Very comfortable and once we finally met Hermina, she was lovely as well.
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.
Hermina was very warm and welcoming. She took me in stand by when my other accommodations didn't work out. The townhouse is tucked in the back and off the street and borders a police station, so it is very safe. It was very conveniently located near the Fields Corner station on the red line. The room/house was very basic, but there is a full kitchen and Hermina had it stocked with basic breakfast items, coffee, tea. I met some really lovely people while staying there.
Our bedroom was big and clean and it was great having a kitchen available. The location of Hermina's house is also very convenient since it is very close to the subway line into Boston. We can highly recommend this place.
Hermina was an excellent host and very accomodating. I enjoyed meeting the other guests. She took us (guests) for an interesting night tour of the gas lamp district in Worchester (Boston).
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 was very helpful with Boston (and area) sightseeing suggestions. As a first time visitor to Boston...and airbnb...I felt safe and comfortable, and her location is very convenient to the 'T'.
Hermina was a gracious host. The room was large and clean with a comfortable queen bed. The house is next to the police parking lot so it is very safe and quiet. The neighborhood is nothing to write home about, but it is only a block to the T and we spent all of our time in Boston central. It was a convenient and affordable place to spend the night. McDonald's, a market and liquor store are just around corner. We didn't eat in neighborhood so no comment on food availability. This... More »
The condo was definitely nice and Hermina was a wonderful host! It was very convenient from the Subway (a quick 5 min walk) and there was internet and TV available and breakfast in the fridge (english muffins, cereal, milk, and OJ). Hermina was very responsive and easy to reach via e-mail and phone, so thank you Hermina! It was my first time using AirBNB so getting to talk to her before I arrived helped to ease my worries. Only reason why I would not rate it 5 stars was that the... More »
Very inexpensive price and convenient location to central Boston. I would recommend the rooms in the basement/cellar which are 2 larger rooms with kitchenettes and a full bathroom shared between them. There are 4 rooms upstairs which share 1 full bathroom and there is an additional half bath (WC) downstairs next to the kitchen. The attic/loft room is quite large. For those who prefer a room and bathroom which is well cleaned on a daily or so basis, you may want to stay in a hotel.
Hermina was a great hostess. Opened up her home and made you feel at home. This is a great location! Short walk to the T..easy access to all that is Boston. Spent 3 nights without any problems. Felt very safe (beside the police station) but I don't scare easy!
The location is very convenient to the subway station and the room was very nice and spacious. Hermina was very kind to greet me. I would recommend this house to all.
My family and I stayed in Hermina's 2 bedroom townhouse and really enjoyed it. It was a perfect space for what we were looking for. The location in its proximity to the red line T stop was incredibly convenient. Hermina is very friendly and it was great having a chance to chat with her as well. I would definitely recommend her home to my friends!
My daughter and I had the pleasure of staying with Hermina this past weekend. She was very welcoming and kind. The few other guests I met were also very nice. She was also very helpful with directions around town. A very pleasant experience! :)
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
Hermina is adorable, really friendly and easy going.
Hermina was a very pleasant, welcoming host. Her home is comfortable and convenient and as described in the posting.
Great house, great people, great location
she is a wonderful lady, we had a great stay
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.
The house was pretty and neat. We stayed in a big and furnished room with comfortable bed, two couches and a big mirror. It`s worth it !!
The host canceled my reservation 11 days before arrival.
This is a huge beautiful apartment, very centrally located in Yerevan. It is also very quiet. It was perfect in every way, and the hostess, Hermina, was very good about answering all my questions. I highly recommend this apartment.
My friends and I had a great time staying with Hermina. She was a very kind and friendly host. The location was fantastic - less than a 5 minute walk to the T, then only about a 10 minute ride to downtown.
The place was amazing!!! very close to the subway and easy to get around. I loved the city. I would definately recomend this place and hope to come back if possible in the future. Hermina was very nice and pleasant.
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.
Don't risk your time and money. Here is my unbiased review: This was a misleading experience with bad room condition, worse condition than $20 hostels I've stayed at abroad. The room location changed twice, and upon arrival at the second confirmed room location, the key we found under the mat (as instructed) did not fit in the door. Upon calling Hermina (the host), she said that the person might still be occupying the room that was reserved for us (she wasn't sure), and said she had... More »
Hermina's house if a wonderful example of the architecture of early 19th century Dorchester and Boston. It is very well located for full access to all of Boston via public transportation. She is a warm and welcoming host. I appreciated my stay.
Hermina is a very nice and helpful host. Her house is only few minutes away by foot to the underground station Fields Corner. From there you can get in 20 min directly to Downtown Boston. Close to Hermina's place you find a supermarket, McDonald's etc. The area is safe to walk around. Iris + Matthieu (Munich/Germany)
Es war mein erstes AIRBNB Erlebnis und ich kann sagen, das es besser eigentlich nicht kommen konnte. Ich hatte ein schönes Zimmer, mit in dem Haus, das neben gutem TV, auch Küche, Bad etc hatte war ein zweiter Mieter. Hermine ist ausserordentlich freundlich und gastfreundlich. Der Stadtteil ist nicht der allerbeste, aber sicher und nah an der Redline, man kommt immer überall hin. Andreas
Hermina is a wonderful hostess, and her place was clean, quiet and convenient. I'd definitely recommend her to others!
As my first Airbnb experience, I can say I was not disappointed. Hermina was a very nice and helpful host. The location was safe and the T red line is a 6 minute walk from the house. A very useful place if you simply need a place to shower and sleep.
Very nice - was there for 4 days. easy to get to the train and into boston for a conference. Hermina was sweet and made coffee for me one morning, and let me borrow an umbrella (thanks!). Room was great, bathroom shared.
Perfect! My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days while roadtripping through the region, and it was lovely. The house is gorgeous, and Hermina is an excellent and helpful hostess. We were able to park right across the street with no issues, the T station is just a few blocks away, and there's a decent grocery store nearby for essentials. I would definitely recommend this place!
The location is commendable. Close to downtown, easy to find and close to all amneties. There was some confusion about the reservation, but after discussing with the host, misunderstanding was cleared. We thought parking was inside the property, but we had to park in the street. It was not a problem. Next to the house is a police parking lot which makes us feel safe.
the room is good and the host couple are very nice.We took a good night there.highly recomemed!!
Was very nice to stay here. We will certainly again if the opportunity presents itself!
I very much enjoyed my stay at Hermina's place. Being next to a police station made me feel a lot safer during my four-stay at Hermina's place. The proximity of the place to the nearest train station gave me a lot of flexibility as far as getting around, without feeling the need for a private car or using a taxicab. The place itself is well-kept and clean.
nice room, nice kitchen, everything nice!,, feel relax-->i like this thing!!,, and thank you!!
Nice house, very close to subway station, easy to get to downtown. Great host, the room was comfortable, breakfast included. But it's a little bit cold there, don't forget your warm socks))
very nice accomodation, close to the center, cosy, nice host
It was convenient to have the small Apt 2 to ourselves, but this apartment seems far less comfortable and welcoming than the main house, so we spent as little time there as possible. It had not been properly cleaned before we got there, though the person acting for Hermina was willing to clean it again if we wanted.
The house is close from the subway. The room was clean. The breakfast was ok. Tigran was helpful. That was a nice night which enable us to meet American people. That was a good experience!
it's great place and we enjoy it.....love it
For the price you cannot beat this in the Boston area. Reasonably close to Boston, 45 minutes on T or if you take a cab it's $20 and it still takes about 30 minutes depending on traffic. Just remember this is an AirBnB stay. Everything is nice but it is not perfect. It's better than the Fenway Park Howard Johnson's for quality but it is definitely not a 4 star hotel and the price is appropriately reflected. One issue that we'd like feedback from the host on. There was no key to... More »
We had a lovely experience as guests at Hermina's home.

Very nice place in great neighborhood - lots of good restaurants nearby. Enjoyed our stay!
I only stayed one night; however, the house was nice, secure (always locked, stuff felt safe), community around the house is down to earth--I highly recommend the pizza place just down the street. House feels warm and homelike, the T is just a couple minute walk away and thus making where you stay central to anywhere you want to go!! Hermina was gone while I was there, but she put me in contact with her friend who was very kind and wanted to make sure I had a good time while there. One night... More »
We were four and stayed in the basement. The room was clean as well as the bathroom. Linen and towels were provided. Street parking is free, safe and easy. Free wi-fi is a major plus for people who are in town working. Unfortunately I didn't meet Hermina who I heard is a wonderful person, but her friend Tigran who was taking care of the house was very helpful. If you're hungry, head to the Vietnamese place just around the corner.
It seemed like my stay at Hermina's was just what I could have ordered: a less than 1-hour commute to/from Logan Airport on public transit (even on a Sunday); a pay-one-price access to unlimited rides on the "T" (as the local transit system is known, short for the MBTA), such as a 7-day pass for riding the buses and subways for $15; a 5-minute walk from the closest train station to the house; a diversified community; access to a clean kitchen, dining room, and shower pretty much anytime I... More »
Hermina and Tigran are great hosts. Clean, comfortable rooms nicely kept communal spaces, convienient to shops and public transportation. This house has been our resting place as we are relocating to Boston. We couldn't have asked for a better situation.
We enjoyed our stay at Hermina's. The location is very good for the price, the access to down-town is easy. The 2 bedroom townhouse was perfect for us, as we traveled with kids and friends. In the evening, when we were arriving from our down-town tours, we enjoyed the living room and the kitchen for our late dinners. Herrmina was out of town, but the friend who replaced her was very helpful and kind, quickly responded to our needs and gave us good tips to make the most of our stay. This way... More »
We rented 2 rooms so our comments are listed in a different entry.
Hermina's place is in a working class, very multicultural neighborhood near the Fields Corner T stop--great location for commuting to other parts of Boston or just checking out the immediate area. If you drive like we did, parking is easy and available. The house itself was an older duplex--not luxurious, but well kept, welcoming, and clean. Hermina was away but her friend welcomed us and we enjoyed our conversations with him. We were on our own for breakfast, but were invited to use... More »
This is a nice place! It is very near T station and there are some restaurants and supermarkets around there.
We enjoyed our stay at Hermina's.
We are a group of four persons over sixty and we travelled in east USA from aug 17 up to sept 13 stayng , when possible , in private houses found through air bnb. Hermina's house is beautifull, the kitchen is ok and easy to use and the same we can say about dining and leaving room. The only problem we had , was about the bedrooms: indeed we stayed the firsth night in the attic ( all toghether ) and the other nights in the basement ( all toghether ) , and it is not the best for persons... More »
Very sweet and accomadating even though Hermina had to take off pretty much as we got there. I wish we could have stayed longer but due to the Hurricane in NYC, we had to leave earlier then expected.
Hermina was an excellent host. We were put in one of the basement rooms, there was a double bed and a fold out sofa bed, with a shared bathroom with the other basement room. The room was quite dark but suited our needs fine. we were 4 young travelers exploring boston and this was a good place for us, the room was not the best room in the house and some people may be disappointed by it. The house is located just around the corner from the tube station which has good links to downtown boston.... More »
Hermina is an absolute sweetheart! Great hostess & fabulous home. She makes you feel like you live there, but gives you your space too. GREAT Vietnamese (very authentic and $) right around the corner too. Have a good visit!
Enjoyed my return visit. Hermina was as always a welcoming hostess. Very convenient location near a T stop. Would recommend to anyone looking for an at-home experience when traveling.
Nice place to stay!!! And Hermina is pretty nice.
I stayed very well at Hermina's house
Good location, great hospitality!
The host canceled my reservation the day before arrival.
L'emplacement était pratique : proche des transports en commun et du supermarché. La chambre était spacieuse et confortable avec toutes les commodités. Notre hôtesse, Hermina a été charmante et serviable. Nous avons apprecié d'échanger avec elle. The place was really convenient with public transportation and a supermarket nearby. The room was big and convenient. Hermina, our hostess, was kind and helpful. We appreciated to speak with her.
Hermina is a very hospitable host. Enjoyed my stay at her "international living center"! Great conversations, good tea. Conveniently located near the T
Hermina was a very gracious and fun host. She was helpful but not at all intrusive. She was even kind enough to drive me to a car rental agency! Her house is nice and in a great location (T stop is two blocks away, police station is behind her house so we always felt very safe). Overall, a great experience.
Hermina is an interesting person, very nice and easy going. The house is huge and close to the subway.
Hermina was very nice. Beware the long, steep staircase if you have a lot of luggage or if it is heavy. Hermina helped me carry my bag up. The neighborhood is pretty neat, but off the beaten path, so if you want to stay in a more touristy part of Boston, go elsewhere. However, if you like authenticity and good Vietnamese food, stay here. Although it is not close to the airport or South Station, it is an extremely convenient ride on the T and a short walk from Fields Corner station. I had no... More »
we were very well at Dorchester and Hermina was so helpfull !
great!!!!! we also will stay here next time! :)
My original plan is two nights, but happened an urgent accident, I left one day early. The location is ok, closing red line. The bed room is so so, not very comfortable, not bad. Bath room is ok, wash machine is very nice.
Hermina was very helpful and her house is in a great location! I had a great stay!
Nous avons été très déçus par cette adresse : chambre minuscule où il était difficile d'ouvrir deux valises en même temps salle de bain pas nette du tout, ressources pour le petit déjeuner très banales ! Bref nous en sommes partis sans regret, rien à voir avec les autres adresses Airbnb ! Le tout pour plus de 70 dollars ! A rayer de son carnet d'adresse
We had a good time in Boston thanks for Hermina. She is really nice and helped us a lot. The room was big and really comfortable to stay. Hermina's house is close to metro so it was convenient to go anywhere we want. If I go to Boston next time, I want to stay there again!
Hermina was a very gracious host; the house was very quiet during our stay. It is located behind a local Boston police station - word of advice, do not park in their parking lot! . While not a traditional BnB in the sense that the host prepares meals an such, it offers convenient access to the city from her location. She did have breakfast items available and you have full run of her house.
Hermina was very nice with us. Although we didn't get to to see her much, we had a great time at her place, ideally located, not very far away from Boston center. A nice place!
I had a very nice stay with Hermina. Her house is located really close to the T making it a real good starting point for city tours. The common areas were really clean and the fridge full with plenty of things to eat. I can highly recommend staying with her!
Very nice host :p We had great time to talk. Just be sure to reserve the biggest room ;) the one with 1 flower sticker ;) The subway is just at 2minute from there and great restaurant around.
I came in to Boston late after leaving Greenland on Air Iceland and Iceland on Iceland express. I was concerned about disturbing the other guest & Hermina placed me in a large room in the basement where I was unnoticed by the other guest. Hermina is a lovely host.
Exactly what I was looking for and I would stay with Hermina again!
Hermina was a wonderful hostess, and has a lovely home! We took the advice of another guest of hers to call ahead and ask which room we should stay in. The room was HUGE - two sofas to lounge on! We were made to feel just so welcome - she means it when she says make yourself at home.
Really nice place to stay - good facilities and a good location! Hermina was very helpful when i saw her as i was out most of the day sight seeing. Well priced!!! Thanks Hermina!
Have never done this before so wasn't sure what to expect. Hermina was very nice and the house was nice and clean. We couldn't find much for breakfast and ended up going out for that.
Hermina was an extremely nice and friendly host. As soon as i arrived she offered me a glass of wine and watemllon and we had a nice chat. The room and the bathroom were comfortable and clean. She even gave me a ride to the airport which was really kind if her. That was my first airbnb experience and a lot better than i expected.
Nice hostess. House was convenient to Boston metro system and there was parking, which was appreciated. Our room was spacious but spartan, especially in contrast to living areas downstairs which are pictured on web.
Hermina was a friendly, helpful and welcoming host. Her house is well-located, with parking space in the street just in front of it, but definitely leave your car behind and take the underground into the city... The room was very big, but we were a bit disappointed with our accomodation. We had the room at the very back of the house and we found that it was not very clean nor practical for cooking and eating in, for example. Unfortunately the bathroom was particularly dirty. We appreciated... More »
Near metro station, great place to stay :)
We had a comfortable stay. Although our original room was given to another person/s, we had been accomodated accordingly. It was nice and quiet and the location is very convenient . Thank you for the wonderful stay.
Hermina is very nice and friendly!
Hermina, was just extremely nice I didn't really get a chance to enjoy her house or company since I had a long airport delay but she opened her house no problem at 3 in the morning and never seemed angry I arrived so late. A MUST if u are going to Boston choose herminas's house
Hermina was a welcoming and very helpful host. She knows much about the Boston area and is willing to share her knowledge and give recommendations. The room was small but very reasonable for the price. My only suggestion to future travelers would be to take into account that this room has no AC. If you plan on staying here when the weather is hot in Boston the room gets very hot.
We were very satisfied with the accommodation Ms. Sarkissian in Boston provided. She was a very generous and kind lady.
Hermina was a lovely host. She was very communicative over eMail and phone and I felt secure knowing I'd have a place to stay. She has several units, in the same building. The one I was in was a basement unit, which was great for July, because Boston was HOT. The unit was very cool, and had a nice shared bath with the other basement unit. It had a little kitchenette, loads of space, and very easy access in and out. It felt like having a full apartment to myself. Available street... More »
Hermina is a sweet lady, I love the house, its very comfy and me and my boyfriend had a good time there. It was 5 mins away from the T, it was easy to find the place the neighborhood was quiet. We stayed in the biggest room she had and made us feel at home. Thanks Hermina. Yee
Stayed at Hermina's house for a week while I was looking housing. She is a wonderful host with clean rooms and even provided clean bath towels!
Great place and very easy to get to! Hermina was very nice and accommodating. Everything was just as advertised. I would stay again!
I never actually met Hermina but I think I was coming and going either after she left or before she went to bed. The room was nice and the neighborhood was quiet.
The room we slept in had two windows which provided a good airing and cooling of the space and a closet all for us; it was small but comfortable. We also had towels and bed linen provided. The house is big, with a lot of light and spaces for cooking, eating or relax. The bathroom is clean. The surroundings have many services and, even if it's not the best neighborhood in Boston, we felt safe and fulfilled in our needs: the house is pretty much in the police station's yard and in a two...

Hermina is a really nice person. We used the kitchen and she even left fruit out several times. She wasn't there when we arrived- but no worries just walk in and grab a room. But when we met her she was a great host. Thanks!!!
I stayed at Hermina's for the July 4th weekend with my fiancee. Overall our stay was a nice one. The house itself was charming and the bedrooms and bathrooms were simply furnished but clean. While the host is very nice, I felt like the B&B operation was a little disorganized. When we arrived at the house, Hermina was not there (she was absent most of the time we were there), and there was some confusion as to which room was ours (there are 4). I found out later that some visitors who had... More »
Nice lady, centrally located home.
It was a good experience for me. Easy access to the T subway, quiet street and a nice host. It is everything you needed away from home without a big price tag. Will come back if visit the city again!
It was a nice house and convenience to subway and bus stop. I booked for my friend and his son for 5 days. Room was clean. They had a good time. Other guests were friendly too. Guests made their own breakfast. My friends did enjoy the stay. I would recommend Hermina to everyone.
This was a very pleasant share accommodation. It is a lovely big house with a variety of rooms to suit different requirements. We were three with our son and Hermina was an excellent host who helped us with accommodation when we arrived a day early. The location is easy to get to on the train or by taxi out of peak hours. Access to food, banks etc on the street corner but not much in the way of restaurants. Hermina is very busy so not often there and it is very much a look after yourself... More »
I had a wonderful stay in Boston the two days I stayed at Hermina's. It is very convenient to get to and there are shops nearby in case you forgot anything at home. The room I had was very homey and comfortable. If I were to return to the Boston area, I would definitely stay with Herminia again. It was quite fun getting to know her and the other guests as well. There are nearby places to eat that are very reasonable and it's quite easy to get around from her place by the Metro. She made it... More »
I wanted to stay with Hermina, but ended up not having to. Still she was very communicative and a very generous, thoughtful host. I really appreciated her efforts to make sure I was alright.
Hermina's place is great! Even if she's not home, she'll make her house accessible and its easy to feel at home! I stayed for three nights in June and I have no complaints. She invited me to eat with her (she's an awesome cook) when I got back one day. She had no issues with me doing a load of laundry and I had my own key to come and go. Train station is really close and I didn't feel unsafe in the area at all. I would stay at Hermina's again!
this is a great place for the price, close to the city using the t-rail. We stayed in the basement on a warm night and it stayed cool. The only issue is with an old house you have the creaks of everyone walking, the pipes running with everyone using water. But that was part of the charm of staying in an victorian house in Boston.
We came over from Zimbabwe for the World Flower Show in Boston. Hermine was a wonderful host and helped us out wherever she could. In addition she also showed us more of Boston than just the flower show giving us a small insight into her Armenian hospitality. We left Boston with a happy heart knowing that a new freindship had been forged.
Hermina is a gracious host and her house in Dorchester is very comfortable to stay in as well as being convenient to the Red Line of the Boston MBTA. I was put in one of the two basement rooms, which disappointed me at first, since the pictures all seemed to show light and airy rooms on the second floor, but the actual room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had a bathroom/shower just outside, which is shared with the other downstairs guest. There is also a handy washing... More »
This beautiful Victorian house probably has some secrets to tell! The location is very convenient for using public transportation. I attended a conference at the Boston Convention and Exposition Center, and there was never any problem getting to and from the center. Not a single taxi ride! The home's accommodations were simple, but I had the added advantage of a room with separate rear access and a sink in my room (part of a partial kitchenette). There was a shared refrigerator and...

I like Hermina and her house very much. She is a very nice host. She allowed us to make our breakfast with all her food when we stayed there for two days. The gust's room is comfortable and big. Her house is near the train station, easy to connect to other places. She also like help her gusts, like borrow her jacket to us when we did'nt wear clothes enough. We appricate her very much. Hope meet her and stay her house again.
Hermina is a wonderful host, and it really is like staying with a friend. She is 100% relaxed and generous: letting us share food from the fridge, borrow her GPS, even giving up her own room. A perfect stay!
The room we were in was very spacious and comfortable. The house is located close to the Red Line Train which is very convenient and also there is few eateries near by along with a grocery store. She is a very good host as she was helpful and loved to share as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend her if you are visiting Boston area. Thanks Hermina :) !!
It was a chaotic weekend in the Boston area with tons of events happening simultaneously. I felt like Mary and Joseph on Christmas Eve trying to find a hotel. Thankfully I was able to rent the last room in Hermina's lovely home. The location was perfect. Slightly outside of the city-center but only a 2-block walk to the red line T. Hermina was very gracious and organized. Everything was seamless and the price point was great. Why bother with hotel extra costs? Just make your own... More »
Hermina's house is absolutely superb, I didn't have time to stay long, but I can only recommend. Some people might have concerns about safety of the district (my colleagues teased me) but I think the police station just behind the house bears some influence ;)) And Hermina is a very kind, friendly host.
I enjoyed my stay at Hermina's house. The room nice and comfortable. The train connection to Boston metro area was great. The host was very nice, helpful and hospitable. Olga
It was a great time staying at Hermina's house! I especially enjoyed the time in the morning that several guests cooking/having breakfast together, sharing exciting experiences! Hermina have been very nice and the location is perfect if you go by the subway!
We stayed here for one night. The conditions were good. The house is located not far from the city. Hermina is a friendly person. We will definitely stay again if be visiting Boston.
The best place EVER! I am not even sure where to start :) Hermina is one of the nicest people I met in Boston. My parents were visiting for my graduation and they had the best time ever. The place is very comfortable, clean, homey, charming, and it in a great location! I don't think they have ever felt so positively about a place they stayed at aside from home (I sound like I am exaggerating but I'm really not!!).
A nice place to stay with a very accommodating and helpful host. Access to the Subway is a 5 minute walk with a direct link to the city centre. Parking is on the street and is free.
It was a bit disconcerting that Hermina was away when we first arrived, but the other guests were helpful in helping us find things. Hermina was really friendly and helpful.
Hermina is nice and friendly even though I did stay longer enough to know her in person. I wish I could stay for more nights. The house is gorgeous and the room I lived is clean.
Hermina's house is beautiful, and the room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable. It is extremely close to the Red line, which made travel fast, easy, and convenient. The other guests seemed extremely nice, too! By and large, everyone was extremely quiet and respectful of the public space, and the kitchen was well-stocked. Overall, a great place to stay.
Hermina place is convenient, it's 15 minutes to South Boston terminal, 8 minutes walk to subway station, and her house is very nice with many other travelers. Hermina is a great host, she let us grabbed some fruits, cereals and bread :) Definitely will recommend this place to stay!
Had a great time be sure to specify which place you're staying in-once my friends and I got into the studio we were totally delighted, and we enjoyed each of the other rooms on our way down there! Hermina is a gracious and hospitable woman, a joy to stay with.
Hermina was a very nice host and her house was great - clean, comfortable and welcoming, with coffee and tea and breakfast options offered. Note the neighborhood's location, as mentioned in other reviews.
Hermina was great and the room/home was very comfortable. Thank you!
Hermina is a sweet person; very inviting and hospitable. The room that I had was HUGE, and very private, and the house was really close to a T stop. This was a far better deal than a hotel! I would definitely stay with Hermina again!
The house is so nice and the bedroom is very conftable. The place is very well located, it is close to the train and some supermarkets and restaurants.
The room was lovely and Hermina was really nice. I would definitely come back if I have to traval again in Boston!
Easy parking, great location - downtown in 30 minutes or less. Even though we didn't get to spend much time together, Hermina was very nice and welcoming to us. Thanks!
The host canceled my reservation 25 days before arrival.
We had a terrific time. The home was located in an ideal location...only 2 blocks from the subway (Fields Corner on the red line). We stayed with our 2 kids (age 1 and 3) and it worked great. I will stay here again if we visit Boston in the future!
Hermina was a very gracious and hospitable host. She was very generous with her cooking and with her knowledge of Boston. The room I was given was also quite big, and that was nice. The location of her house is also very close to the train station so it does not take long to get downtown. I would highly recommend her and would definitely consider staying with her again.
Hermina was very welcoming and hospitable. My room was large and comfortable, and the house is very convenient to public transport for getting into town.
My experience was much better than expected for the price & general location! The dining/living rooms are as inviting as the photographs show, and the kitchen is fully-equipped & reasonably stocked with foodstuffs. My room, the smallest, was clean with simple but well-chosen furnishings including a sitting chair & nightstand with 3 large drawers and a VERY good mattress--important before/after The Marathon! And the decor & bed coverings are tastefully matched. The Dorchester Ave.... More »
Very convenient to the T. Great hostess!
Hermina's place was very close to the redline station, a grocery store, mcdonalds and 1 restaurant. Her house is literally 5-10 minutes from downtown Boston on the train. The house was clean, the room was large enough to accomodate my sister and I. I would stay there again! :-)
This is a WONDERFUL place to stay in the Boston area! The house is perfect (and very reasonably priced) and the neighborhood is FANTASTIC - lot of places to eat and drink (check out the Blarney pub across the street or Dot-to-Dot a few blocks away). Our hostess Hermina made arriving and getting settled VERY easy (despite our late arrival time!)....and there's plenty of parking! It's a very safe and active neighborhood, with the RED LINE (to Cambridge and other points) a short walk away. ... More »
Herminias place was the perfect accommodation. Very big and beatiful house with a whole floor just for us. Herminia herself was very helpful and friendly.although she wasn't at home for the most time, she helped us with many different things. We enjoyed it very much.
Hermina is a wonderful, kind host and her home is beautiful. It is very conveniently located to a T Station and is quiet, clean and very comfortable. I will definitely stay with Hermina again when next in Boston.
Hermina was a lovely, warm host. We came in very late in the evening with only a day or two of warning--1AM, and she was awake to greet us and to show us her place. The accommodations were very comfortable and spacious. Her home is also very beautiful with vibrant colors on the inside. Another plus-very close to public transit--about a 5-minute walk or less to the Red Line, which takes you through downtown to cambridge area and beyond. Thank you, Hermina!
The house is located only 15 minutes from South Station by subway. The neighborhood is a bit run down, but feels safe. The house is two blocks from the subway, so it is very conveniently located. Hermina allowed my wife and I to use her kitchen and provided the grocery items: eggs, English muffins, coffee, milk butter, etc. I found the bathroom and room to be clean. I would recommend Hermina's place to anyone looking to save money on a stay in Boston. It was a bargain. Also,... More »
This was my first time using airbnb, and I'm happy to say it was a great experience. Hermina was a great host, friendly and accommodating. It's a nice residence, and a comfortable room & bed. There was a little bit of a mix of over when/how we would pick up the key, but she communicated quickly and we were able to to deal with it easily. Highly recommended!
A perfect stay. Lovely big room. Very quiet. Wonderful host. Lots of local places to get food. A very short walk to the train.
She is a great host would definitely stay there again
A clean house and a very helpful host. Thank you!
Hermina was a wonderful host. We got to her house late after missing our stop on the subway, but when we arrived at 10:45PM she was understanding and showed us around the house before we settled in. She gave us a key so we could come and go as we pleased. We had two bedrooms upstairs, both furnished with nice beds with clean sheets and blankets. The rest of the weekend we only saw Hermina briefly in the morning before we headed out. Her house is in a great location a 5 minute walk to the... More »
Hermina was an excellent host. Super friendly and helpful. The place was great too. It was nice and clean and had everything we needed, and then some. I would totally stay here again! Thanks!
We had a great stay at Hermina's house. Very convenient and easy to get to Boston. Thxs !
I couldn't have asked for a better stay for my needs. Herminea was very flexible and accommodating. There IS plenty of street parking, but much less in the snowy New England winters. You may have to make a bit of an effort to find a space in a winter like this one. Coming to Beantown? Stay at Herminea's.
Hermina's place is nice and convenient to stay at in Boston and I would be happy to return on a future visit. I had plenty of space and enjoyed myself. Hermina is happy to share her knowledge of the city and suggestions of what to visit (museums, etc.)
Hermina is the best landlady you will ever have.. The house is in a convenient area too. Clean and comfy..
Lovely place - stayed with my college aged kids downstairs. Very spacious and good beds. Nice breakfast and easy parking right out front. Will stay there again.
Great place. Lovely host. Makes it very easy for you.
Thank you for the stay. Convenient to subway station. Thanks for breakfast (and dinner). I had a very nice conversation with her. Beautiful house and the room was good too. :)
The room I stayed was very nice and cozy. loved the bed, clean sheets and towels. Hermina was a very nice lady!
Really nice and homey feel. Hermina was an excellent host! Will definitely recommend to anyone staying in the Boston area!
How can I start... This was my 1st time to Boston, but since I had so great experience at Herminas wont be my last! Since I got to the house I found it beatiful. Hermina was out and she had arragements to let me in until I met her later. The house is beatifully decorated, full of colors, is in a neighborhood 10 minutes away from the center of Boston just taking the subway red t line. In the basement thare are 2 big rooms, with a shared bath. Both of the rooms are big, very clean and very... More »
There was a key mix-up to start, so I wasn't able to get into the house or the room for about ninety minutes. I explored the neighborhood and settled down at the Dunkin Donuts while I waited for Hermina to return home. However, Hermina more than made up for it with an impromptu dinner for me, another airnbnb guest - an Argentinian - and herself. Wonderful food, wine, and conversation. The room was comfortable, the bed spacious, the shower hot.
Excellent value. Clean, convenient location for subway but no hassle if with a car. Hermina is a very nice host. A far more friendly experience than in a typical B&B.
Our first use of AirBnB. A pleasant stay in a nice clean room. Very close to the Fields Corner Red line 'T'. Not the greatest neighborhood, but the house is big and Hermina is friendly.
Hermina was away but made sure that I had access to the house. This was my first time renting a room from a stranger. I typically do not sleep well when I travel, so I find expensive hotels a great waste of money. This was a great alternative. The room was clean, as was the house. The bed was comfortable and the house was a very short walk from the T. I would return here again, although I would bring ear plugs. You will hear other people in the house (not unexpected) or the police... More »
Hermina was a wonderful host! she gave me n my friend a big room at the back ofnthe house all to ourselves. Stone's throw from field's corner metro station. Staying at Hermina's has cetainly added on to our wonderful boston experience. We highly recommend this good n affordable accommodation in a neighborhood setting!
Hermina was pleasant and accommodating. She even lent us a hair dryer. My wife and I enjoyed the amount of space and seclusion of her day-light basement. It was just what we needed before flying out of Boston. The bathroom could have been cleaner. The neighborhood is sad BUT the house is right across the street from the Vietnamese Buddhist center with a wonderful incense filled garden dominated by a white marble Quan Yin statue.
Hermina is a very sweet lady with a beautiful victorian home. The basement level which my friend and I stayed in was huge and included a bed, kitchen & electric oven top. It's a shared bathroom among other renters, but there was no real wait to use it. The room was clean, but make sure all of the sheets are clean as well. The bathroom did have a little malfunction from time to time, the lights/air vent/heater totally shut off twice and there is no window so it's pitch black. Make sure you... More »
From the first moment Hermina made us feel like we are at home. It really meant a lot to us having the 2 young kids on this trip to Boston. The house is big, and the beds are very comfortable. The location is great, very close to the T station and only 15 min to Downtown. We hope to come back again soon. Thank you to Hermina and to airbnb!
Could not meet Hermina as she was not there, but left very clear instructions. Would come back anytime. thanks a lot!
This was my first airbnb experience and it was great! Though not on site, Hermina was a gracious hostess with a well stocked kitchen which she generously offered. I am a fan of airbnb and anticipate similar future experiences. I may use airbnb for business. This was a great value!
Beautiful house, Hermina is very nice and helpful, thank you!
I really liked staying with Hwrmina she was very helpful and the place was really cosy!
our FIRST use of Airbnb. When we arrived Hermina wasn't there and another guest opened the door for us. when I called her she told me that our room is in the basement and told me where I can find the key. But I couldn't find it because previous guests hadn't leaved yet!! After they left we went to the room, it was messy and DIRTY. WE had to changed the bed sheets ourselves! We didn't expect it at all! The bathroom was so DIRTY, the trashcan was full and the carpet was wet and gross and... More »
Hermina was a great host. We had a separate entrance to our room so we didn't see her much, but she made it known she was there if we needed her. Be prepared with quarters if you intend to do laundry. The neighborhood was not in the nicest part of town, but we had no problems. Very conveniently located to the "T". Only a few stops to downtown Boston. Easy transportation from the airport as well. A restaurant "The Blarney Stone" 1-2 blocks away--good food and drinks. All in all I would stay... More »
I spent almost a week in Boston at Hermina's house. She is a very nice person and a generous guide concerning what is going on in Boston and where to go. I was glad to have had the opportunity to share my cooking skills with her. When I was at home I felt completely confortable. The house is nice and the position is good: 5 min from the T-red subway station and 20 min from Boston Downtown. If I go to boston in the future, I will be there again. Roberto
It was a short overnight stay but it was the most comfortable ever. Hermina and I didn't really had the chance to bond but we were able to chat a bit before we left to go around Boston. Very sweet! Very well recommended! Nice room! Very clean sheets and very clean bathroom! Accessible to the T! Safe area! :)
I had a wonderful visit and will stay there again when I return to Boston. There was easy free parking and easy access to the T. Hermina is charming and helpful and she took time to take me to castle island for a walk. It felt like a bit of Europe in Boston. THANKS AGAIN :-)
Hermina is a great hostess! It is more like staying with a a friend than staying in a hotel. If I come to Boston again, I will stay here! My son and I stayed in the basement, complete with a refrigerator and microwave and laundry facilities for longer stays. It was very quiet and comfortable. You can also use the main kitchen if you need to. The bathroom is shared with one other basement unit so plan your showers if it is occupied. Hermina is very accomodating and helpful with directions,... More »
Hermina was so kind; she received me with her kitchen open (that's the quickest way to my heart!) and the room was comfortable. Note that there are multiple rooms in the apartment, some larger, some smaller, but all comfortable. Recommended!
Hermina est très accueillante et son logement au sous-sol est parfait pour un couple qui veut garder son intimité. Je le recommande à tous!!
It was a gret experience staying at Hermina's house. It felt really like being friends visiting. The accommodation was great a lovely big room, afternoon tea, good breakfast and a smiling friendly hostess. What more could two tired travellers ask for Elsie and John Geelong Australia
Well how should I start... I never met Hermina, because she had a sudden family emergency to attend in Armenia. Hope all is well! Her home is cozy and cute. We met one of the housemate left in charge. We didn't hang out much at the house, but when we were there it was quite and peace as the mornings were. The location to the T lines worked out great. Hop on and go anywhere. The neighborhood may seem a bit sketchy for non-city folks, but harmless. The people were limited of their English, but... More »
Unfortunately Hermina wasn't able to be at her house while we were there, but she made arrangements with a friend / neighbour to let us in. We had the downstairs (basement) room which was pretty big and clean. It had it's own secure entrance and it's own mini kitchen. The room was a little dark but the bathroom (shared) was good. The area the house was in was a little drab with not much going on but access into central Boston was only a 20 minute journey by the "T". Overall the... More »
lovely house in a very quiet neighborhood. very easy to find parking and very close to the public transportation. not a large bedroom for two people, but if you need it to sleep only, it is fine. we recommend it. thanks Hermina!
Hermina is a consummate hostess, she arranged for our visit to her home at a time when she herself had to fly back unexpectedly to Armenia. The house had free street parking and is very convenient to the red line metro. It should be perhaps noted that Dorchester isn’t Boston’s most salubrious neighbourhood and the house is next to a police station with the attendant noise from the sirens, this could influence travellers with small children.
Hermina is a very friendly person. The wellcomming was very kind. Her house is comfortable without loud. The underground is only at 500m. Sorry, my English is bad. Thank you Hermina. Pour les prochains voyageurs francophones. Hermina est une personne tres sympathique. L'accueil est chaleureux. Sa maison est confortable et calme. Le metro est a 500m seulement.
We stayed in Hermina's basement. The bathroom was very clean and the bed was comfortable. She was having to leave to go to Armenia because of the death of her mother. Even with this stress on her, she made certain that we had accommodations. The location was very convenient to the subway.
great host
My boyfriend and I spent four nights at Hermina's house. We have been very well received! Our room was very good and very large, she's very nice host! If I return to Boston, it's sure that I will return to this place. At 3 min walk to the metro is very convenient! Mon copain et moi avons passé 4 nuits chez Hermina. Nous avons été très bien reçu ! Notre chambre était tres bien et très grande, de plus c'est une incroyable hôte ! Si je retourne sur Boston, c'est certain que je vais retourner... More »
We spent a delicious week-end in Hermina's house. She took good care of us and had plenty of good advices on different locations to visit. Her house is peacefull, colorfull and really convenient (just a block from the subway). I will definitively recommend it ! Thanks for everything: Julien, Emilie and Lily, who really appreciated the book.
We had a great stay with Hermina, she went out of her way to accommodate us on a busy travel weekend. We were a group of four and we took up two rooms; one which being in the basement which was large and comfortable enough for three of us. She makes you feel at home and is very courteous and welcoming. We would stay with her again in a heartbeat.
We had a wonderful stay in Hermina's lovely home. She was very helpful and every one we met there was also very kind. It was my first experience with Airbnb and, thanks to Hermina, I will try it again.
Hermina was a lovely host! We loved staying in her home. It was convenient and comfortable. She was so nice and informative. Would love to stay there again!
Convenient to the subway I would highly recommend this host. I stayed in her basement apt on a comfy bed with a beautiful quilt and a private revovated and clean bath. Hermina is so nice and gracious There is a fantastic Buddhist meditation garden across from her house that you should not miss when you stay with her
Comme toutes les personnes qui sont passées chez Herminia, je recommande vraiment cette maison et son hôtesse! Herminia est là quand vous en avez besoin et en même temps vous avez toute votre intimité; Avec ses origines arméniennes et sa vie américaine, Herminia connait ainsi des cultures, des manières de vivre différentes, et cela rend les discussions encore plus passionantes et met à l'aise n'importe quel voyageur! la maison est très grande et vous vous sentez comme chez vous! Dorchester... More »
What a joy! The room was delightful and comfortable; the kitchen warm and friendly, and the hostess was delightful. Before booking, I had read the review about the police station being nearby. That didn't bother me one bit. Thanks so much, Hermina!
It was great staying at Hermina's house. It was very nice chatting with her in the morning and evening and she had many helpful suggestions what to do.
Hermina is a pleasant and interesting hostess. She willingly provided information about the area. The rooms were large, with excellent windows. The house is close to both the MTA and grocery. We were quite happy with the whole experience.
Although Hermina was not there, she did give me every help she could think of. The location of the apt. is pretty close to the subway station. It was a great experience!
Hermina's place is very comfortable, and is located in an interesting neighborhood. The room was airy and clean and we slept very well there. We hope to stay there again.
The host canceled my reservation.
We stay two nights at end of july. Good experience Hermina is a friendly person. We were very quiet with her. The Metro (red line) is near the house, parking on the road is free and without any difficulty. The breakfast is consistent and the conversation with Hermina is very interesting. We recommand this adress et we will return to this place when we will visit Boston again. Thank you Hermina. Jean-Michel - Marie-France Gangloff (and Florence) from France
This was our second stay with Hermina, since we came to her place both at the beginning and at the end of our journey to the USA. Hermina went out of her way to make both stays a success, notably showing us the way to the beach, helping us finding our way around Boston, and, on the second occasion, for having taken care of small problems she had noticed in the house. She also offered us a welcome upgrade to the huge cool room at the back of the house! All in all, a warmly recommended... More »
Hermina's house was a bless in my stay in Boston: Situated in a family quite neighborhood, three blocks close to the red T. The house's room was ventilated and luminous. You are not a simple guest there, because Herminia does all in order that you feel like a real member of her house. Support, confidence, friendly environment are what I enjoyed in the Beautiful Victorian Hermina's House.
We stayed at Hermina's house 3 days from 20 to 22 of July 2010.We had a warm welcome and Hermina was very helpful.The house is completely renovated and very cosy.Hermina is a very educated woman and it was nice to talk to her during our stay.She also provides us with everything in the house as well as her computer. Thanks for everything. Buratti Elisabetta and family.
Namaste, Staying at Hermina's is like being on a meditation retreat. Her home is peace filed. Hermina is a friendly and kind woman. She cares about her guests and helps them feel comfortable. She is precise and helpful with directions and has excellent suggestions for travel and eating out. My daughter and I both really enjoyed staying with her. If you travel to Boston, Hermina's home is a superb choice! An added bonus is the 40 foot marble Quan Yin just directly across the street... More »
Very good host and home. The stay was comfortable and Hermina is a nice and caring lady. The red line subway station is just 4-5 mins. I enjoyed the stay and hope to visit in future again!
Hermina's a gracious hostess. Her home in Dorchester is a very short walk to the Field's Corner station on the T, and the main living areas and bathroom in her home are all clean and comfortable. Her upstairs guest room is clean and comfortable like the rest of her house, but cramped for two travelers with luggage. Her basement guest room is much more spacious, and in the July heat wave in which we arrived, much cooler as well, but we opted for the upstairs room despite the heat because the... More »
Dear Hermina, it was a pleasure staying at your home. We are very grateful and honored for the fact that you opened up your entire house to us (well, nearly!), and made us feel true guests who could go about as we pleased. We appreciate the every effort you made to make our stay more comfortable and pleasant, as well as the breakfast conversations we had! We are returning to Europe now, but hope we may meet again, somewhere, somehow.
We stayed at Hermina's for the July 4th weekend. Her place is bright, airy and clean. It's also really convenient for the Metro. The only downside to her place was that it's right next to a police precinct and it was really noisy all night with all the emergency vehicles. However, it seems that was an aberration due to the 4th. We'd totally recommend staying there on a regular weekend or if you visit at a time of the year when you can sleep with the windows closed.
Nice host! Pace convenient to visit the city: metro (red line) near the house, parking on the road (free)without any difficulty. She offered us coffee and something for breakfast (even if it isn't included in her price!). We can recommend it!
trés bon accueil . Merci pour tout Hermina
The "room" was the entire basement - so plenty of space. The subway is really close. Hermina is really friendly and helpful. Don't expect inner city though - it is a 15 minutes ride.
This was my first time in Boston, and Hermina was an awesome hostess! She immediately made me feel at home when I got there. My room was spacious and very clean. She was very helpful and informative about which trains to take as well as where to go. In addition, she drove me to church because it was on the way to where she was going. Hermina also took me to Castle Island which was a great walk next to the harbor. Even though her house is not in downtown Boston, her house is so close to... More »
The place was clean and comfortable and Hermina was an amazing host!
Hermina has been an excellent guest! We hope that she enjoyed her stay in our house very much . We would definitely recommend her to any future host and we would welcome her in our house again.
February 2012Hermina was a nice guest. She has had lots of people at her house via Airbnb and now saw things from the other side! Hope to see you again, maybe a little longer next time. You have to come and enjoy the ocean and beach in the winter!
