Activities/Attractions: Boston has grown up around Boston Common, which was set aside as public land in 1634. The visitor center - the start of the Freedom Trail - is near the tapering north end of the Common. As you stand here, facing up Tremont Street with the State House away to your left, the main shopping district, Quincy Market, and the waterfront are slightly ahead and down to the right.

The modern concrete wasteland of Government Center is straight up Tremont Street, with the North End beyond - first Irish, then Jewish, and now very definitely Italian. A short way behind you on the left rises Beacon Hill, every bit as elegant as when Henry James called Mount Vernon Street "the most prestigious address in America".

Heading away from the center down Tremont Street brings you to Chinatown and the Theater District, while grand boulevards such as Commonwealth Avenue lead west from the Public Garden into the Back Bay, where Harvard Bridge runs across the Charles River into Cambridge.

Encore Bed and Breakfast is within easy walking distance of the Hynes Convention Center, Copley Square, Symphony Hall, the Theatre District, and the Back Bay, as well as the fine restaurants, galleries, theatres, and shops of the South End.

"To the cast of ENCORE, and its star performer, Reinhold, who made our stay most enjoyable - bravo to you! The final act, that of parting, will be such a sweet sorrow. You have us wanting an encore ... We shall return."

"Thank you for the nice time in Boston. We liked our room on the top floor very much, because everything is so modern and you have such a nice view at the John Hancock Tower. We enjoyed the breakfasts and it was nice to talk to you. Thank you we really liked it here."

"The Encore is the best-kept secret in the South End. Our stay there for 5 day and four nights was nothing short of perfect. Attention is paid to every little detail from the flowers as you enter to the linens on the beds. Reinhold was a gracious host; the coffee and conversation lived up to their reputation 'splendid'. If you desire a special place that is a step above the norm I would recommend staying at the Encore. Thanks again to such fine hosts ..."

"We had a wonderful stay and feel privileged to be your first guests. The house restoration is beautiful (especially your attention to detail). Good luck in the future."
