John’s place was really great. The en-suite bedroom was really spacious, warm and clean. And having access to the kitchen, laundry room and living room was a real bonus. I was in Boston to run the marathon so this accomodation was perfect. It’s about two miles from the city centre and in Ireland that wouldn’t even classify as a walk, we would call it a wee dander and it takes about 35 minutes. Obviously on marathon day I was saving my legs so I got an Uber Taxi into the City and it cost me about 15 dollars. Coming from Ireland and staying in South Boston with all the ‘Southies’ was also like a home from home and everyone was really friendly and it was a really safe neighbourhood. The apartment is also really close to the airport and only cost me about 12 dollars. John was a great host and very welcoming. This accomodation was also great value for money, especially when compared to the Hotels, who all whacked up their prices for the marathon weekend. Now that the Boston marathon is ticked off the list, it’s unlikely that I’ll be back in Boston again, but if I was I would definitely stay in John’s place again.
