This is a historic house and the decor reminds me of an old English cottage. John went over and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Every day starts with a delicious breakfast and John is on hand for a chat and to answer any questions. Bus to downtown is 1 minute away and there's a beach within 15-20 minutes walk from the house. We rented a car on our last day and found out about the odd parking rules in South Boston. Make sure you avoid street cleaning days! Overall an excellent start to our holiday in New England.
