During your stay
I'm a social and hospitable host who loves to share his home with others. I was born and raised in Boston, went to university literally down the road at Northeastern and so with plenty of knowledge I would be more than happy to help. My mother lives in a separate apartment (so please feel free to say hi if you cross paths with her) and I'm nearby. While we're around and close by, you can have your space as well.

Connect directly @AKBrownstone where I like to also share the best of my city.

Other things to note
The house is actually as it seems in the photos everyday; well maintained common spaces, so I simply ask guests to clean after themselves to leave the common space in order.

The Modern Bedroom is part of a 4 bedroom apartment, and shares a common bathroom next to it with two other guest bedrooms; which is cleaned frequently. (3 flights of stairs total)

Our area is considered safe and quiet for Boston, but this is the city, and anything can happen anywhere at any time so I always like to tell people to have common sense in travels in the whole city. We are walking distance to many good cafes, bars, restaurants down Tremont st past the T (metro station) and a ~$8 Uber ride to the nightlife of the Back Bay.

Neighborhood highlights

Located in historic Fort Hill (Highland Park), the center of Boston's Roxbury neighborhood. My home is in a wonderful & diverse urban residential/bedroom community. Steeped in history since the 1630, this hill has hosted figures such as several of the key founders of Harvard University, George Washington and Henry Knox during the Siege of Boston in the revolution, to the famous abolitionist William Llyod Garrison (whose home is close by and the water fountain in front of the house is designed in his image). After transforming into one of the nation's first streetcar suburbs, now Fort Hill is one of the most sought after and up and coming residential neighborhoods in the city with a diverse community of young professionals, working class and long time residents. The neighborhood is a history lover or architect's dream with every period represented. We have a progressive and engaged group of residents where one of the world's leading experts in urban farming resides, lots of public spaces, urban wilds (including our wild turkeys), community gardens, and has become city's foremost leader in passive houses and energy positive homes.

From Wikipedia:
"Today, Fort Hill is home to an ethnically and linguistically diverse community. Fort Hill has been recognized for its sizable population of residents with Irish, Puerto Rican, Dominican, German and Sub-Saharan African roots.[13] Over the last decade Fort Hill has experienced an influx of professionals, artists and students, many of whom attend Northeastern University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design or Wentworth Institute of Technology. Fort Hill is also often referred to as a neighborhood that is notable for having a high concentration of residents living with same-sex partners,[14][15] and has a history of its residents advocating for gay rights.[16]"

My neighbors are wonderful and friendly, so please be sure to be friendly back and say hello to them as well.
