We absolutely loved our stay at this house!! The location was perfect for getting around Boston, to Fenway & even out to Salem. It was such a comfortable, clean home that had everything we needed. The backyard space was perfect for relaxing in the morning or evenings. The host was wonderful & kept in contact for anything we needed. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again!!
