This was my second time staying at Tom's place. You can't ask for a warmer, more caring host. As always, he provides a very welcoming home and is legitimately concerned about your needs to ensure you have a comfortable stay. He asked me ahead of time how I took my coffee and even provided snacks for me pre and post Marathon (I was in town to run the Boston Marathon). On top of this, he is a super nice guy, so you feel at home during the entirety of your stay. The place itself is great (super comfortable bed) and is centrally located in an up and coming neighborhood. Incredibly easy to get around Boston from his place. I recommend staying with Tom, and will be doing so again next time I am in town.
