My wife and I just completed a 4 night stay with Thomas. He was a terrific host, truly interested in our experience. That experience included daily trips into downtown Boston and each night we would relax and share with Thomas what we had done. Over a glass of wine we would share stories and he would give his recommendations for the next day's adventures.
The room was exactly as advertised. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and the bathroom was clean and always accessible. We enjoyed sitting in Thomas' front room with him the most. He's a very fun guy with terrific life experiences he will share if asked.
The neighborhood didn't seem to have much to offer except being really fun to walk through on the way to the metro station. The three story dwellings are very interesting and apparently originated in this area! In truth, we didnt exlore the neighborhood in detail as we were always on our way to the city.
The metro red-line was a fun experience to master. And with Thomas' help we became master riders. The station is perhaps a 10 minute (maybe 15) walk through some beautiful neighborhoods. We never felt unsafe. We did however resort to Uber each night from the station because of my wife's tired feet. It is only a $4.65 ride from the station back to Thomas' place.
Thomas works an irregular schedule that has him home at times and gone at times but we never felt unwelcome nor in the way. We actually felt we were perhaps taking up too much of his personal time with our visits but he never indicated that at all.
In closing, we would stay with Thomas again without a doubt. He is genuine, interesting, and engaging. And has a terrific companion in his dog Wonder.
Thank you for allowing us into your home!
