Yeri and his delightful partner were so amazingly generous and kind. I found myself stranded after a car malfunction, driving from the Cape. They took me in and were so accommodating. The house is beautiful and exquisitely decorated (the Annette Funicello themed artwork is neither kitsch nor nostalgia, but a true museum of love, which made me love it all the more).
It’s an easy atmosphere, whether your mood is more chatty or feeling a bit reclusive. The neighborhood is truly central to absolutely everything, good food/life/walks abound. There’s also a dog park two blocks away, right next to one of the like fifty amazing Italian bakeries in the neighborhood, so you can eat a lobster tail while your dog makes a few friends.
Also, that back yard, especially, is a truly magical space to cool out in, and I can not recommend it highly enough.
