  Jon is a great host, really friendly, out-going and respectful. I immensely enjoyed my stay with him, we had lots to talk about and I would highly recommend checking out his Zen Garden for a unique hosting experience! Better than most hostels in the U.S.A. and in a great location, be open minded when going in and you're sure to have a great experience!

  Had a splendid time and made a new friend. Great value, and Jon is a real good guy. If you are driving in, parking can be a headache. Jon has a permit for free visitor parking, but Boston doesn't seem to be car-friendly. Learn to love the city's public transportation- which is actually quite good.

  In some ways the title itself is self-selecting. If you're intrigued (as I was) then you're likely the sort who will enjoy themselves tremendously. For those whose travel requirements are minimal, and is looking to meet new and interesting people; this venue is certainly for you. What this is not is your standard experience. The price-point is an attractive one, certainly, the bed delightfully comfortable, and the facilities are pleasant and serviceable. You will, however, be sleeping in... More »

  My stay with Jon was an honor. I had what I needed to be comfortable and more. Conversation with him is a satisfying experience to be engaged with. He is very understanding and compassionate as demostrated by his interest, shared company and insight with my daughter on a particular situation, and with me. Thank you Jon! Our best wishes to you on your path. And I hope we may talk again soon. “The simplest things are often the truest.” Richard Bach

  Had the privilege of staying at the spot for American Zen. The place is small and comfortable, and got to witness the beginnings of a lovely mural being put up. The atmosphere was worry-free and fun. Upon returning to Boston, I know I can shack up with friends.

  I had a great time talking to Jon. He's an awesome host. The room is kept clean and the bedding is so nice, it's so worth the rate we get. I will go as far to say that I look forward to visit Boston again because of Zen Garden.

  I think I've chosen the worst time in October to go to Boston. With the snow storm, my bus was delayed for about an hour. However, guess what's awesome for the trip? Yes, Jon and his zen! This is what i regard really interesting and worthy part for traveling. So if you are like me, travel for adventure rather than boring and deadlooking hotel, come to his zen garden!
