This was as advertised and the rate made it affordable for me to stay overnight for the Head of the Charles regatta. I walked from Phyllis’ place to the regatta and back and parked my car on her street. The night before I walked to to a tiny Thai place and had a good meal for a good price. There’s a YMCA within walking distance also. Phyllis was easy to communicate with and personable. Her home is charming. One heads up: If you drive in and it’s dark, it’s hard to find the house because hers is one of the few with visible numbers. You may have to get out and count to figure out which it is. But it’s a short block! I would/most likely will stay here again.
