Kind of a follow up to the "explain the neighborhoods" thread below. For a visitor to Boston, will most/many of the providers' locations be accessible by "T"? If I read a review about a hobbyist visiting an apt. in Cambridge, can I safely assume I won't need a car to get there myself?  

I've been reading reviews and have a few ideas about which girls / agencies I want to see, but I keep wondering about how easy or difficult it will be to get to some of these places. Any suggestions? Off-board messages welcome.

It's never safe or wise to assume anything ever except that death and taxes are inevitable.  If you kindly approach the ladies and ask them if you would be able to reach them via a local T stop either train or bus (insert preference). I'm sure they will certainly respond positively to guide you. They won't give directions, but will give you a yes or no. Everyone is friendly, just ask!

Happy Hobbying!
Cheers,
Grace

have what's called "taxi service". Not big bucks to spring for a cab these days. Why are you so hung up on where a provider is located, and if they're near the "T"??????? Just saying....if you want it, and  you're paying that much for some personal attention, a cab is a drop in the bucket. Make it happen, man.

But still her house could be up to a mile walk from the nearest station.  If you don't mind that, then you'll be fine.

Ask her for her approximate location, then access a route map on line from the T (MBTA), you'll be able to plot out your walk.

I enjoy a good brisk walk sometimes just before a session.  It gets the blood flowing.

Well, I live in a city larger than Boston and have previously helped visitors to my area by telling them, you know, such-and-such neighborhood is dangerous or such-and-such suburb is very far and you won't be able to easily find a cab back from there so have a phone number and a safe place to wait. Given Boston's reputation for being small and well-served by public transit, I'm just trying to figure it out.  

The clues in reviews ("Waterfront apartment building," "Cambridge") don't tell me much. Maybe it's changed in the past few years but there used to be parts of Cambridge where I wouldn't want to be waiting for a cab.

PS Probably should drop the leo from your username, buddy. Doesn't engender trust!

In general, most local providers don't seem to be very T accessible -- they tend to be more on the outskirts/suburbs, which are very accessible for driving, but getting there via public transport can be a pain.

Even within Cambridge, which has a fair amount of T access, there are a lot of areas that aren't easily accessible without switching from T to buses, etc.  Best bet is a cab or walking;  getting anywhere in Boston or Cambridge via cab is pretty quick, and you can walk almost anywhere if you know a 'general area';  as others have said, just ask the provider for a ballpark location or if they are near a T station -- commuter rail, subway, bus.

All that said, visiting providers tend to be more likely to pick hotels that are in downtown and are usually much more accessible.  Financial District, Copley, Theater District, Waterfront are all very T-accessible.

Thanks! That's incredibly useful intel for a visitor. I appreciate the post.
