Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Libby
I spent twenty years as a technology executive before stepping away in 2018 to do what I'd always meant to do: make art. It was a significant life change — the kind that reshapes everything — and this home in Davis Square became the place where that transformation happened.
I'm a working artist now, and this house reflects that. The walls hold original work. The spaces are designed around light, quiet, and the particular kind of calm that creative work requires. I've lived here long enough to know every good coffee shop, every restaurant worth going back to, and every shortcut through the neighborhood.
I became a host because I believe a well-made home should be shared. I take hospitality seriously — not in a formal way, but in the way a friend with a great house does. Everything will be ready when you arrive, I'll be easy to reach if anything comes up, and I'll leave you to enjoy the place without hovering.

Why they chose this property
Davis Square chose me, honestly — I arrived and never had a reason to leave.
It has everything a neighborhood should have and almost nothing it shouldn't. Independent restaurants and coffee shops that have been here for decades. A farmers market. Live music at The Burren on a Tuesday night. The kind of bookstore you can lose an afternoon in. And the Red Line, five minutes on foot, which means the rest of Boston — Harvard, MIT, Fenway, downtown — is never more than twenty minutes away.
What I love most is that it has genuine character. It hasn't been smoothed out or made generic. The people who live here tend to stay, and that continuity gives the neighborhood a warmth you can feel walking down the street. For visitors, it offers something most Boston accommodations can't: the feeling of actually being somewhere, rather than just near somewhere.
The Somerville Community Path runs right past the house — a dedicated walking and cycling trail that connects neighborhoods across the city. On a clear morning, there is nowhere better to start the day.

What makes this property unique
Most rentals near Boston are apartments carved out of larger buildings, or rooms in someone else's home. This is neither. It's an entire artist's residence — designed, curated, and maintained by someone who cares deeply about how a space feels.
Two fully private suites, each with its own bathroom, mean that two couples or a family can stay together without any of the usual compromises. The king suite has an ensuite bath. The second suite has its own private bath steps away. There is a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, a private outdoor space, and on-site parking — a combination that is genuinely rare this close to the city.
The ceilings are high. The light is good. The art on the walls is real. And the location — five minutes from the Davis Square Red Line, directly on the bike path, walking distance to some of Boston's best independent restaurants — is as good as it gets in this part of the city.
For graduation families, marathon visitors, World Cup travelers, or anyone coming to Boston for something that matters, this home offers something a hotel simply cannot: the feeling of having your own place, in a neighborhood worth being in, with enough space to actually breathe.
