Just finished a week in Dorchester with Thomas and Wonder the Dog. Doing some research, mostly at the JFK Library, so the location was perfect.

Tom and Wonder are fabulous hosts. Tom sent me a message very soon after making the reservation and he was always easy to reach and very responsive. And he seems as laid back as you want him to be. Need directions or restaurant recommendations? He's your man. Need a dinner or walking companion? He's your man. Want to be left alone to read, work, watch tv? He can do that, too. Whatever you need, he's willing to accommodate. Very kind and knowledgeable, Dorchester's greatest booster.

The room has a small closet, a dresser, and a huge comfy bed. Plenty of natural light. I slept better there than I usually do at home. The bathroom was clean, always accessible, and the living and dining rooms are full of Tom's wonderful photography and some great plants (check out those cacti in the dining room!). The kitchen had whatever I needed. AND Tom made corn muffins and banana bread, had fresh fruit, and made coffee (amazing coffee!) every morning.

Dorchester was wonderful. Quiet, lots of walkers, plenty of dining options. The closest T station is Shawmut. I walked there in about 10-15 minutes. There's also a Stop & Shop within walking distance. And, again, if you need to know where anything else is, just ask Tom.

This was my first Airbnb experience, so didn't know what to expect. But I couldn't have had a better experience. Thanks, Tom! See you next time!
