This home is really what airbnb is all about- all the comforts of home and yet the delight of having new friends to guide you gently through the wonders of a new city.
Before I even got to Boston, Philip sent helpful messages regarding transport and his directions were clear and concise. On arrival it was clear that he and Hannah had taken a lot of care to prepare a welcoming and very comfortable room. As travellers themselves, they understand and provide many subtle touches to ensure your stay is just a pleasure. There's lots of natural light, more than enough room for your things- a whole empty cupboard- and plenty of privacy. Fresh bread baked for your breakfast!
The apartment is in a very funky and hip neighbourhood, lots of quirky interesting stores and eateries, friendly people and very safe. Its an easy walk from the orange line train which runs straight down town very frequently.
But the best thing about this listing is the people...Hannah and Philip are well read, thoughtful and charming, so interested in the world around them and all it holds. Their company is full of warmth and openness, and they really are ideal hosts. My stay in Boston will remain a joyful memory for a long time because of this wonderful home.
(Travellers should note that this apartment is on the third floor of a gorgeous house. If you are in a wheelchair or have significant mobility issues the stairs might be difficult to navigate).
