Phil's beautiful apartment is managed by his mom Joyce, who is one of the most warm-hearted and attentive person I've met. She made me food almost everyday during my stay and truly cared about me. Joyce exemplifies the kind of host that every traveler dreams for.
There is no need to mention the basics such as cleanness, comfort, location, check-in/check out, or communication that surpass the average standard by far. In fact, every aspect of my stay was impeccable.
What is particularly great about staying in a private room at Joyce's place is that I got to have a bathroom that I can use whenever I want. This was a big bonus to me because for everyday I had a varied yet tight schedule in the morning and took quite a while to complete my daily cleansing routine at night. There was no waiting, no rushing, and no knocking ever.
I will definitely recommend Joyce's place to my family and friends when they look for accommodations in Boston/Cambridge. Thank you Phil and Joyce for having me!
