Florence Frances Guest House

An amazing bed and breakfast run by an amazing lady, this was my first ‘home’ in Boston when I came over for a few nights for my interview. I’d recommend it to anyone who needs somewhere to stay in Boston whilst on business or visiting a friend.
Highly praised in Time Out’s guide to Boston, this Fenway brownstone house did not disappoint at all. The interior is lovingly kept in original 19 century décor and Florence has an amazing collection of dolls as well as a whole room for her shoes and hats. At 80 dollars a night it was a bargain for a truly special room that could well have been in a museum. The bathroom was hip with a great toilet, and it was conveniently close to several T stops.
The real gem though was Ms Frances, who was truly charming and had quite amazing stories. She has flags for every guest to show their nationality, and of the 50 or so flags she owns she’s been to pretty much every country — including Iran. An introduction to her hat collection is quite a treat too. What a life she has led! She even had a free guest pass for me for the Museum of Fine Arts.
