This was the first time my boyfriend and I had ever used Airbnb and we both agree that it was a wonderful experience. While we were on the hunt for lodging, we took other's reviews into consideration and Thomas had very good ones. He was a very gracious host and really easy to get along with. He was also quick to respond to emails and texts as well as gave us some great suggestions on things to do/what was going on in town while we were there. He is a very genuine guy and didn't ever make us feel awkward or uncomfortable in any way.

The place had a lovely Boston charm and there weren't any unexpected surprises not listed on the website. One could take a bus from the subway to a stop about two blocks away from his house, but it was only a 12-15minute walk to the station.

Even though we only stayed for three nights and weren't there most of the day, we cooked dinner at Thomas's house twice. Everything worked well and was easy to find-- just make sure to not put food down the drain because there isn't a garbage disposal.

Tom has a dog named Wonder and she is adorable. "Give her a treat and you'll have a friend forever" was what we were told and it was true. She barked as us when we first arrived, as expected, but then she didn't bark at us again. She really is a great dog.

Needless to say, we would stay at Tom's again if we ever find ourselves in Boston.
