Pros: Close to the Subway, character home Cons: Dogs SMELL, Dogs pooped in our hallway (I heard they don't go up there; false!) NO wifi, NO bathtub (tiny shower), Susan only likes you if you love "Fur People", Breakfast was ALWAYS late and NEVER good (cereal everyday), it's NOT a King bed- it's two twins pushed together. I put 1... More

I was dismayed to read this review because the guest seemed to enjoy his stay and enjoyed chatting with the other guests at breakfast. Breakfast is served between 7:30 and 8:30, based on guests’ needs. He requested breakfast at 8:00 and it was never later than 8:05. I serve a continental breakfast with a mix of cereals and breads, juice,... More

My two daughters and I spent three nights here (7/8 - 7/11) and had the entire top floor to ourselves. Their room had 2 twin beds which provided them privacy and I had the other room with the king bed. We had the bathroom to ourselves so it was like having our own "floor". Susan was a most gracious host... More

My husband and I spent an enjoyable two nights at this beautiful 19th century South End Boston home. The owner was engaging, knowledgeable and humourous. The only caution is for potential travelers who find stairs difficult, as it's a long climb to the 4th floor!

My husband and I and our daughter and her husband stayed at this B&B for two nights. We had a wonderful time. The residential location made it feel like we lived in Boston. The neighborhood is gorgeous and the B&B is a 10-minute walk from the Back Bay subway station (and I walk slow). Susan was a great hostess, and... More

We´ve had a very nice stay in the B&B "on the park" The room, the breakfast and the cosy atmosphere were absolutely great. The house is very close to a shopping street with nice bars & restaurants. Also the tram is just a 5-10min walk away. Thx a lot Betsy and Marcos! ***********************************************************************************************************

I stayed with Susan while she hosted two other guests. I loved eating Breakfast with the other two ladies staying here. I was capping off a week long business trip in Boston and I was venturing through this part of my trip alone. As a young woman flying solo, I felt safe in the neighborhood walking home in the evening.... More

I stayed for two night in July 2011. The B&B is very conveniently located. Just a short bus ride or walk to the common. I had the double room which was very comfortable and use of a modest but clean bathroom and excellent towels. Susan Park is very friendly and full of knowledge about Boston. She went that extra mile... More

I stayed two nights here in June 2011, when I was in Boston for the wedding of a good friend. The house itself was lovely, full of charm, I stayed in a well-appointed double room on the top floor and slept really well both nights. The owner, Susan Park, was great too, I was the only guest staying, and she... More

Owner and innkeeper Susan Park was a gracious and attentive hostess to us in her South End 1860s brick row house. Solicitous of our every need (for information about the city, transit, attractions, nearby restaurants, breakfasts), Susan made me and my wife feel almost like family members. Reaching our bedroom in the top story with two heavy suitcases was a... More
