I can’t have enough praise for Ben and Mandy. I felt like a member of the family, along with their friendly dog and kind daughter. Between sharing dinner, offering rides, and the friendly chatter, I felt right at home.
I had arrived for a weekend stay after riding through a rainstorm on a motorcycle. Ben came outside when I arrived, told me where to park, and showed me where to hang my soaking wet gear and I took a warm shower. Even got some desperately needed laundry done.
Their house is perfectly located, quiet and peaceful and a 10min walk to downtown. Plenty of shopping, nearby beaches, and exploring to do.
I had never stayed in a room in someone’s house before, but absolutely would do it again. Ben & Mandy are people I’ll stay in contact with for years to come, and they’re welcome in Boston anytime.
