The house is very roomy with enough space for nine of us. There are bedrooms upstairs and down. The 2 1/2 baths were very convenient. We enjoyed the dining space in the kitchen and dining room. Some of our family found the lock entry a little difficult. Jeff is an amazing host. He is an excellent communicator.

If you’re looking for a house for a large family or group, this house is perfect. All was clean and comfortable. The beds were wonderful, and the house is well stocked with necessities. There is a lovely yard space, but it is a quiet neighborhood, so if you’re looking for a place to rage/party, this might not be your best bet. The neighborhood is really nice and it felt very safe. The location is GREAT!. It is close to the Arboretum, and easy to get to Fenway. The owner was quick to respond and communicative. Great house for a Boston vacation.

Perfect location

This house was perfect for the needs of a three generation family that came to Boston to visit family. The location was ideal and the neighborhood was peaceful, beautiful and safe. The kitchen had the basic amenities necessary for morning coffee, and meals and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. Jeff was always available to answer any questions and check in on our stay. This house worked well for our family!
