Wow, the Eben House is absolutely AMAZING.
First of all, the property is GORGEOUS. The rooms are spotlessly clean and super chic while maintaining the house's original elegance and charm. The beds were crisp, white, and comfortable. Our room had a gas fireplace for warmth as well as an AC/heat unit that was easy to control. In between the building housing our room and the main building where we ate breakfast, there was a beautiful, quiet courtyard, equipped with string lights, a hammock, a bistro table and chairs, and lots of sunlight. They will have a pool in the summer (when the season is right) and plenty of lounging space for a relaxing vacation away from the city.
Also, the breakfast was DELICIOUS. The bar is made up of just a few things (a few perfect things) that are all different and exciting. My husband and I have been trying to eat smaller portions but couldn't help but go back for seconds. We didn't try a single thing that we didn't like. In addition to the food, they also keep the bar stocked with coffee, orange juice, and water, AND they offer hot tea (6 kinds), cappuccino, and espresso if preferred.
Finally (and most importantly), Anthony, the House Manager, went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect. When we first arrived, our room wasn't yet ready (we were very early), but he made a point to show us around the property and make us comfortable. He asked what we wanted to do that day and gave us great pointers. When we began to discuss dinner, he suggested we try one of two waterfront restaurants on Commercial Street. Not only did he print the menus out for us, but he even went as far as comparing the restaurant styles to ones I know from back in Florida (he has also lived in Florida). When we made a decision, he called the restaurant and made a dinner reservation for us. We did not ask Anthony to do any of this for us. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a seamlessly wonderful vacation, and it worked.
We had the most amazing time, and I would have MORE than gladly stayed at the Eben House for months if I could. Thank you so much to everyone at the Eben House who made our long weekend away from Boston feel so relaxing (almost like home). We will DEFINITELY be coming back to stay with you all in the future.
