We have been hosting young people for over 15 years and love having visitors with us. We often have two or three guests at a time making for lively conversations. My husband and I have two friendly dogs and a sometimes friendly cat. We have a teenage son who enjoys getting to know our guests. Our home is a short distance from downtown Boston and Harvard Square with public transportation just steps from the front door. Previous guests have attended Harvard, MIT, BU, BC and many of the ESL schools in downtown Boston. Our neighborhood is quiet and very safe. Our price includes breakfast which guests serve themselves and dinner which we prepare and eat together.
