I spend September through June teaching high school. During the summers I host airbnb guests and do some traveling of my own. I love taking photos, going to arts-related events, walking around the city, cooking vegetarian food, and rock climbing. I am sucker for mid-century modern design and collect old cameras and other fun objects. I love living in Somerville and would be happy to recommend things to do and places to eat in the area. If you are also traveling to NYC, I can help you find the best means of transportation and can recommend some things to do there too.

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... More »

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,... More »

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! :)
Melina

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!
Oscar

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.
Pamela

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" !
Jakob

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!
Jason

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.
Joao

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.
Julianne

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

It was amaizing! She is really friendly.. The place is really nice with great design and it was close to downtown. The room was nice with king size bad, tv and pc + wifi and it was really clean.
Janice

Stacy is an amazing host! Hospitable, friendly, easy-going, you can't ask for more. She made our stay in Boston such a wonderful experience. Her cats are quite endearing, this coming from a person who has never been a 'cat' person. The house is very clean, hence it was nice to come home each day after a long day out. I would definitely recommend her to everyone! So happy to have made a friend here.
Julie

Stacy's apartment was indeed very cheery, clean, and her two cats were super friendly. Stacy was a great host herself, there were guidebooks and a folder with information about where to eat nearby, public transport and some Boston-related guidebooks. The location was close to public transport and we had no problems getting around, and the neighbourhood was clean and safe. We were heading to Iceland after Boston, and Stacy gave us some information on that too as she has been there. I thought... More »

Stacy was an excellent hostess. Her apartment is very clean and stylish, and the room was indeed cheery and comfortable. I highly recommend her offering!
Anna sophie

Stacy was a great host. She is welcoming, helpful and easy going. Our arriving and departure were easy even though it was kind of exiting to figure out the station, where we had to leave the bus. The room was clean and comfortable as well as the whole apartment. We really enjoyed our stay whether it was raining all day long. We would highly recommend this place!!!
Ulf

My girlfriend and I stayed at Stacy´s place in the beginning of September 2011 for 3 nights and didn´t regret it for a second. Everything worked smoothly from start to finish. We arrived, wanted to rent some bikes and after seconds she printed the most important directions that we needed and gave us a lift to the rental station (okay she wanted to go somewhere anyway so don´t expect that from her:-)). She has a folder where she answers the most important questions about things like public... More »

Stacy was a great host and her place is very clean. Her two cats are also really friendly. We had a great time in Boston!
Izel

Stacy's place was large, nicely decorated, cosy, and clean. The bathroom was so clean that it was shining. She wasn't there during our stay but she was always in contact with us answering all of our questions and assisting us in every subject. She was so helpful that she even helped us with subjects that doesn't concerned her. We experienced a tourist kind of trouble and she helped us even though she was in Nicaragua! ******
Sebastian

Stacy is a wonderful host!!! This was our first airbnb experience and things dint go smooth in the beginning as we got lost when we were looking for the way to Stacy's house. Yet Stacy was very helpful and she drove her car to look for us, we were so touched and felt so warm. Stacy is so cool and we loves her house and of course the 2 cats in the house!! Highly recommend to stay in Stacy's house!!
Katelin

Stacy's place is neat, clean and homey in just the right way. my boyfriend and i stayed here for a weekend when we were in Boston for a wedding. It was our first time trying airbnb and we had a wonderful experience. all the logistics that i predicted could be difficult (different schedules, getting in and out, keys, having autonomy, parking) turned out simple and easy. Stacy was very friendly and welcoming, as were her lovely cats. I loved the quirky, retro decor and the nice thoughtful... More »

Stacy is an Amazing host. Definitely recommend her place to stay. We’ve had a pleasant 3-day stay with her. Her house is much more exquisite than the pictures. She’s always ready to help and willing to provide as much information as you need. Wherever we go, she would help to print out the (website hidden) Maps. We don’t have a car in Boston, but transportation is never a problem. The orange line takes us to almost everywhere directly or by transit. Olive and Sebastian are lovely and friendly. Btw, the...

Absolutely gorgeous little house. Stacey was so welcoming. We only stayed for two nights, but it was so enjoyable to be with such a relaxed host. One of us left our ipod there and she even sent it back all the way to England. We would definitely go back if we were to visit the area again.
Lindsay

Our stay with Stacy was splendid. Her whole apartment is very cheery, including the guest room. It was very clean and tidy, but not so formal that we couldn't relax. Stacy's information was very thoughtful, helpful and thorough, even before we arrived. She gave restaurant recommendations, directions and had a printed train route, and bus schedule app to assist. Stacy even picked up a copy of the week's entertainment paper for us. Her cats, Oliver and Sebastian were friendly and pleasant-... More »

It was a pleasant stay at Stacy's B&B. The room and bathroom were very clean and the space (whole house) for the guest was more than adequate. Depending on your destination, this is a perfect place for people visiting the Harvard/MIT area. Driving to downtown Boston (my conference) and back to Stacy's place was not a pleasant experience if you're not familiar with Boston but overall, it was a good experience and highly recommended.
Maria lorna

This is the second time I'm making this comment and wondering what happened to my previous posting. As I've previously said, Stacy's house is very clean and just perfect for those visiting the Harvard/MIT area or if you are a bostonian and very familiar with the area. I highly recommended it.
Yt

Stacey is a wonderful host! She gives a lot of information, maps, notes...and the apartment is beautiful! Feels like home! I would definately come back next time!
Cynthia

Stacy's apartment was so wonderful and I had a good time there. The place was very neat and I totally adored the 60's retro home decor. Nice spacious kitchen with all sorts of drinks and food, and the bathroom was very clean and tidy. The guestroom was cute, and definately didn't look as fluorescent green as it does in the profile picture! I love her two cute cats, oliver and sebastian! They are for sure the best company when you come home after a tired day in Boston. Stacy was very nice,... More »
Enrique

Stacy was a great host! She made my stay pleasant and I enjoyed our conversations. The room is clean and functional. The house is nicely located in Somerville, sandwiched between Boston and Cambridge. Ideal location to visit The greater Boston area. She provided written tourism materials. This was my first visit to Boston and I would like visit again. I would stay again with Stacy.
Andrea

Stacy was an excellent hostess and her place was awesome! It's a beautiful spacious condo decorated in a very modern, hip style. Her two cats were super cute and she was a big help with giving me information, brochures, coupons and maps to the local tourist stops. Although her place is not super close to the subway, the bus was really easy to take and the area felt super safe when I wanted to walk. Highly recommended!
Xavier

I spend 3 nigth in Stacy's appartement. Location is good, bus are ok to go downtown in 30 min. Stacy provides comprehensive informations for welcoming, transportation, shop etc ... so it's easy to arrive. Her house is very nice, we felt like home and stacy was very open, so we were able to chat about various topics (photo). We didn't felt ourself like stranger. Coming from France, we discovered wood made american houses, so we were sometime surprised about step noises from the upside... More »
Tina

The host canceled my reservation 14 days before arrival.
Wendy

Stacy was a fantastic host, she provided me with great information on what was near by and how to get there, from grocery stores to retaurants. The house is wonderful, tidy, modern and very comfortable. The room was delightful, cozy and made me feel like I was at home. Stacy 's neighborhood is close to many things and made walking a great experience. Highly recommended. I will be going back when I return to Boston.
Leanne

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... More »
Joshua

It's a beautiful apartment with a great vibe, and we enjoyed our stay very much. Both cats are adorable and friendly. Very comfortable bedroom - highly recommended!
Fellowship

I needed a place near Boston with parking and on a very tight budget. Overall pleased - Stacy nice and her place is very tidy and welcoming. Only downside was that her cats are very comfortable in the guest room - often was trying to shoo them out from under the bed, etc so I didn't shut them in the room when I left. Regardless, I would stay here again.
Elizabeth

Stacy and her apt. are lovely and accommodating, and she is a dream. Her cats are sweet too. We would definitely stay with her again. This was our introduction to Airbnb, and now we are hooked. Thanks, Stacy.
Tirza

I rented Stacy's place for a friend, very last minute. Stacy was wonderful. Her place is well attended and decorated. The cats were welcome companions and she was terrific.
Bria

Stacy's lovely, clean space was comfortable, roomy, and inspiring. Yes, inspiring, because she has all sorts of neat nicknacks (a vintage bandaid tin, anyone?) that really appealed to my sensibilities. She even had some of the exact same tea tins that I have in my apt. Aesthetics aside, Stacey herself was friendly, kind, and offered lots of great transit and dining tips. Her kitties were adorable and friendly. I loved petting them and holding them on my lap. The guest bedroom was... More »
Christine

Great stay with Stacy. Nice clean room in a great neighborhood. Remember to take bus #89 from Sullivan station!! Friendly cats. Highly recommend. I will be back.
Vicki

Nice apartment. Nice room, and Stacy, although I didn't get to spend too much time chatting with was very kind and considerate. Would stay here again.:)
Matteo

My first experience with airbnb and first time in Boston: if they were both grate is largely because of Stacy. A very friendly and helpful host with a lovely apartment! I would definetly go back there, next time in Boston!
Rowshan

Our stay at Stacy's place was very nice. She is very considerate, friendly and clean. I think you would be very happy to stay at her place. She is a great host.
Petra

It was a very comfortable stay, pretty nice room with a couple of windows, nice painted, a comfortable big bed and useful furniture, and this was really cool: an apple with WIFI to use. The Appartment is tasteful designed with some nice furniture and a clean bathroom. Stacy has got a big table to sit and having breakfast or just for a chat with her. She was warmhearted and gave me some helpful advices for Boston and for New York. It was my very first stay in the USA and I could´nt have any... More »
Chantal

My boyfriend and I went for 3 days to visit Boston this summer and It was the first time that we used 'airbnb'. We where a bit anxious but felt very happy when we met Stacy and saw her house and our room. She is so nice and recommended us places to eat and where to go in Boston. Her house is also near bus stops and it takes 20min.to go downtown Boston. I dont want to forget Sebastian and Oliver, her two lovely cats!! A very great experience!!! chantal and Jean
Bürgehan

It was a short stay only two days just for weekend. But it was enough for getting a general idea and impression about the city. Stacy is living close to the city and also to Cambridge where Harvard and MIT is. She is a frindly person and was always helpful to me by discovering the city. I am very glad to have stayed with her. I know it is a review what I am writing here but still I like to thank her again especially for inviting me to dinner on saturday evening and any kind of help during my... More »
A&l

Stacy is very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. Would definitely recommend her and her place for someone visiting the area, also for us to go back and stay again. She's great, her place is great, and the cats are great! Well recommended!!
Megan

I booked Stacy's place last-minute after other accommodation fell through, and I'm so glad I did. The apartment was clean, calm, and convenient. Stacy and the cats were extremely welcoming and gracious hosts.
Hazel

This was my first time trying this type of lodging and I was a bit nervous. However, Stacy put me at ease before I even got there and she proved to be a great hostess. Her place was well kept and stylish. It was definitely a better experience than some hotels I've stayed in Boston and I will definitely keep her in mind for future visits!
Wei

It is a very nice and cozy bedroom. I am happy about everything that Stacy prepared. She is very easy going and helpful. Specifically, the two little kitty cats are very lovable and sweet. Would love to stay at the same place if I visit Boston again.
Abigail

I had a wonderful stay at Stacy's! The room and apartment are very nice and modern. Somerville is awesome and of course still easily accessible to the city. Stacy is a warm and helpful host with great insider tips on Boston. Thanks for everything!
Isabelle and jp

Staying at Stacy's was great - her flat is located in a beautiful area, 30 mins walk from Harvard and her furniture is very nice! More importantly, Stacy was very kind and helpful.
Giacomo

Everything was very fine, Stacy is a wonderful and caring host, the house is really nice and well connected to the city centre, considering its location. Hope you like cats!
Sanne

2 curious cats welcomed us at a great and clean apartment/room. Stacy is very kind and hospitable. Nice breakfast. Easy to get to the centre of Boston. Despite of the rainy weather we enjoyed our stay very much! Thanks a lot :)
Kevin

We loved Stacy and her smart and stylish apartment. Everything was white-glove clean. Friendly pets too! She opened up her kitchen to us and was so accomodating with everything. Warm and welcoming describe it in a nutshell, and we felt right at home. I would recommend anyone looking for a crash pad in the area put this one at the top of your list!
Sam

Stacy was a great host! Her home was very clean and unique. Though didn't get much time to chat, her warming welcome and thoughtfulness made you feel as though you are visiting a friend on your travels. Thank you again Stacy!
Michele

I had a fabulous time staying at Stacy's home. She is such a thoughtful and caring host. It was so comfortable that I felt like I was in my own home. I would give my visit a 4.5 star rating. I definitely will stay here next time I visit Boston.
Linda

Stacey is great! Her place is wonderful! I had a great stay because she was so warm and welcoming! I would tell anyone to stay and enjoy!
Mischelle

Stacy is the dealy-yo. Her space is amazing, Stacy is incredibly genuine and eclectic; a hoot. It's THE Spot to stay while in Boston, affordable, centrally located and parking! DO IT!
Michael

Stacy was a great host! House was very clean and neat. Highly recommended! :)
Steve

I guarantee Stacy offers the best AirBnB in all of Massachusetts. I spent most of my stay marveling and how great it was, and in disbelief that it was at such a low price. First, the place: it’s a great, newly furnished condo that’s very well-kept and clean, and it’s also got genuine character. Stacy is quite an artist, and she knows just what to do with color schemes, wall hangings, artwork, knickknacks, and all the intangibles that make a great place great. Second, Stacy: she is a...

We had a fantastic time staying in Boston, and I'm convinced that much of this was to do with staying with Stacy. Her apartment is well located on the bus and T routes, in a lovely area and is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bedroom was spacious and airy with a comfortable bed, and included the use of a flat screen TV and laptop - was so much nicer and more luxurioius than staying in a hotel. The gorgeous bathroom and shower also deserve a mention! Stacy was a fabulous host... More »
