I had a wonderful time staying in Phyllis's gorgeous home! Phyllis is very welcoming and an amazing host, and I would absolutely stay again. The neighborhood is gorgeous and has plenty of charm.
I was a little worried about her location as I was visiting alone without a car, but my morning walks in Brighton to the green line turned out to be one of my favorite parts of my trip. There are also buses just around the corner for those looking for a shorter walk, both of which get can you into the city.
