Thomas was a wonderful host and I felt immediately as if I was in my own home, which is how I like to feel when traveling. His sweet and friendly dog added to that feeling. The neighborhood is a lovely and quiet residential neighborhood with restaurants and shops nearby. It’s a short walk to the “T” or you can take a bus at the corner. You can be in downtown Boston in less than 30 minutes. Thomas is ready with ideas, maps and advice if you need it, and also very respectful and unobtrusive. The king size bed was very comfortable—even better than at home! There is a small but lovely back porch for breakfast if you want to sit outside. (And he makes a great cup of coffee and muffins!) Thanks Thomas for your fine hospitality!
