“Feels like home”

On the Park

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Norwich, England
15 Jun 2008

This wonderful B&B feels like home. After a week of travelling in many different places, we needed a nice quiet, comfy place. We enjoyed the sun and views of the park from the upstairs terrace and downstairs porch. Watching TV in the living room while waiting for our friend to finish his errands in town, just felt relaxing like at home. Our hosts had a great collection of tourist information, and more unusual books and maps for use while there. They also answered our questions thoroughly, were interesting to talk with, and provided us WiFi. The location is convenient - in a quiet neighbourhood, halfway between two different T lines (both green; a little slow, tempted to figure out the bus network next time).

“Better than home”

On the Park

8 Jun 2008

I recently had the chance to return to On-The-Park for a weekend touring Boston with friends. It was just as I remembered it -- warm, cozy and welcoming. Just like home, only better! Marcos and Betsy are wonderful hosts. If you are looking for a charming B&B on a tree-lined street, in a quiet neighborhood, minutes from downtown Boston, On-The-Park is for you.

“On The Park Home Away From Home”

On the Park

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Surfside, Florida
19 May 2008

If you're heading to the Boston area and want to feel like you're at home away from home, On The Park is a fabulous option. The hosts and home are warm and friendly. The B&B is filled with books, jazz or classical music is readily available and everything is served in original ceramics. It was a relaxing place to return every evening of our stay. The location is great, especially if you like to walk. The neighborhood is quiet and classic, with beautiful houses to admire. The T is just a few blocks away. The selection among nearby restaurants is excellent and vast. We know we'll be back!

“Delightful B&B”

On the Park

9 Apr 2008

Could not have been happier with "On the Park" in Brookline, Massachusetts. Very quiet and safe location, perfect location for seeing sights in Boston and Cambridge. Did not need a car. Hosts were so knowledgable and helpful in guiding us to where we wanted to go, and how to get there. Hearty breakfasts in cozy dining room, with a different gourmet coffee each day.
Immaculate and beautifully decorated house with interesting books and paintings and photographs everywhere. A genuine home with cordial and entertaining hosts who never intruded but always made us feel at home.
