I stayed 2 nights at Phyllis' place after a conference outside Boston. I really enjoy my stay. My room was small but neat and tidy and the bed comfortable - no space for work or study, just for sleeping (this is clear from the ad). Bathroom and shower very nice and clean. Continental breakfast and homemade cookies included in the price was a nice bonus! The neighborhood is calm and quiet and there is good public transport to central Boston and nice paths for running along the river just a few minutes from the house. Phyllis is very friendly and she picked me up from the train station and gave me a quick introduction to Boston while we were driving back home. I recommend Phyllis' place to anyone looking for a homey place to sleep for a short stay in Boston.
