I have stayed at a good number of Airbnb’s across the country so I have perspective as to how special Phyllis’s and her home is. I was coming into town and researched the hotels in the area and found them to be overpriced and that was not including the expense of parking. One of the benefits of sharing a person’s home is that you are stepping into their world, generously offered for you’re needs. If you want to “show and go”, which is for some Phyllis is available, but totally non-intrusive. On the other hand, if you want to hear a great story and get great advice about the restaurants in the area or landmarks, from a long time local you are in the right place. The home is immaculate and coffee as well as other treats, such as the most amazing cookies you can imagine are right there as a personal touch for you to enjoy. The home is from the 1860’s and you can feel the vibration of a long time spot that has been a part of history. I had two nights booked for a couple shows that I was looking forward to attending. One was Don McClean and the other was Bob Weir, both in the theater district, a short ride from the house. I had an extra ticket due to the weather and I offered it to Phyliss and to my pleasant surprise she joined me. We had a blast and heard some great music and a wonderful dinner in the North End which is famous for it’s Italian cuisine. The next day I asked if Phyliss would like to join me for another concert, Bob Weir at the Wang and she did. We had a blast. As nice as the house is, Phyliss is worth the visit alone. I most highly recommend that if you are considering a stay in the Boston vicinity you check and see if there is space available, it is the nicest and most well hosted spot that I have yet to stay in.
Rock on Phyliss and see you soon! I’ll be back many times in the future, book early because she fills up fast.
Be well and Happy.
