Anthony's Town House

Frommer's Review

The Anthony family has operated this four-story brownstone guesthouse since 1944, and a stay here is very much like spending the night at Grandma's. Many patrons are Europeans accustomed to guesthouse accommodations with shared bathrooms, and budget-minded Americans won't be disappointed. Each floor has three high-ceilinged rooms furnished in rather ornate Queen Anne or Victorian style and one bathroom with an enclosed shower. Smaller rooms (one per floor) have twin beds; the large front rooms have bay windows. Two family units hold as many as five comfortably. Guests have the use of two refrigerators and a microwave, and the staff will supply a VCR, DVD player, hair dryer, or iron on request. The guesthouse is 1 mile from Boston's Kenmore Square, about 15 minutes from downtown by T, and 2 blocks from a busy commercial strip. The late-19th-century building is on the National Register of Historic Places, and there's no smoking on the premises.
