If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Boston area then I urge you to look no further and STAY HERE at Jez and Ken's beautiful home. Yes it's a perfect stopover for the airport but it's also the perfect place to stay no matter how you arrive or intend to leave Boston. From the moment I made a provisional inquiry I found Jez and Ken attentive and full of useful info to help plan my trip. Their home is immaculate, well loved and exactly like the copious photos available on this site. My daughter and I felt privileged to stay there and were trebly blessed to have Shirley around too to make our stay all the more special. From the moment you arrive they will treat you as honoured guests for whom nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was great (cereals, muffins, toast etc); our own shelf in the fridge was always stocked with orange juice, water and milk and they have a fantastic coffee machine and a selection of teas always available. We could have breakfast when it suited us which led to a very relaxed start to the day. We were also encouraged to use the kitchen, dining room and living room and felt very welcome when we did so.The shower mentioned is to die for and it would be worth booking with Jez and Ken's just to use it. DON'T BE PUT OFF BY ORIENT HEIGHTS SUBWAY STATION BEING TEMPORARILY CLOSED - we stayed with Jez and Ken for 9 nights and found it exceedingly easy, quick and cheap, to get in and out of Winthrop to central Boston and beyond. There's a bus stop just round the corner from the house or a shuttle bus will take you from Orient Heights to the next T Line stop. You could also take the scenic route and take the Winthrop Ferry to Downtown Boston. Jez and Ken are both hard-working and exceptionally busy but we were fortunate enough for Jez to offer to ferry us to the local supermarket and for Ken to have a little spare time which he graciously gave up to show us the sites. Having our own personal tour guide in Ken was fantastic and it was great to spend time with Shirley too. We can't thank you enough. Jez and Ken obviously enjoy meeting new people and take a genuine interest in what you get up to during your stay. Winthrop itself is beautiful and worth spending time in, whilst overlooking Downtown Boston, it's beautiful in its own right. The people are exceptionally friendly and travelling with a 16 year old girl I felt very safe there no matter what the time of day or night. Jez and Ken know the best places to eat: listen to them, we did and had a fantastic lobster meal just round the corner from their home. As you'll no doubt guess I loved my time there and can't wait to return. THANK YOU...
