The home was clean and roomy and as described with easy parking right outside. The host provided a keurig, coffee pods, and creamer, as well as mugs, plates, silverware, and toilet paper. There was a gas station with a shop right next door where we purchased bottled water, and snacks for the kids. Thanks for a great stay!

The host was amazing! She checked on us multiple times. The place was very clean! We had one issue and the host resolved it within an hour. The pictures on the VRBO site do need to be updated. The place is very spacious!There were four adults staying here. The amenities were perfect. The only issue we had, that cannot be controlled by the host, was the outside noise is very loud. It is on a busy street. The bus stops in front of the property and the train runs behind it. Also, when the host says read the parking signs….make sure you do it! We received parking ticket. If you are hungry and want some amazing food near by, eat at Sophias Grotto! The food is amazing!!!!! It was hard to find-but so worth it!!!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the place was exactly as advertised! They really make this feel like a home and they did add more seating in the living room! The only down fall was the train! But overall would stay again!

Wonderful location

Had a 2 night stay in Boston, this location was perfect. Lots of good restaurants close and a grocery store was a few blocks either way. We were able to take the bus/train to downtown and the train back (stop is less than 10 minutes walk).The property was great for our family, we were able to cook breakfast one of the mornings. There was some confusion on the initial check-in but the host was there to save the day!

Great stay in a charming home

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was exactly as advertised. It’s very clean and in a cute borough with some great restaurants and shops and any other convenience you might need. The apartment has a large kitchen that’s great for cooking your own meals if you wish to do so. Check in was completely seamless even though we were arriving late at night.

Very nice place not far from Boston

We enjoyed our stay there and we didn’t mind the street and train noise as it’s not unlike other cities. The hosts really had the house neatly set up and very clean throughout, and we appreciated the updated living room with additional seating. Very pleasantly surprised to see some of the small amenities waiting for us, as the small things go a long way to make us feel welcome!Overall we had a very nice stay and would recommend it highly.!

This beautiful home was perfect for our 3-day stay with six adults. The restored wood floors are stunning and run throughout the home. It was extremely clean and welcoming, and the gas station next door made fueling up our rental car super easy! There is a bus stop right in front, but we chose to drive rather than take the bus. The house is in a safe neighborhood about half an hour from the touristy part of Boston. We really only slept and showered there since we were out enjoying wonderful Boston the whole time - if this is your first trip to Boston, you're gonna love it!! Be sure to do the Freedom Trail! It will take you to most of the sights in the city. We also drove out to Cape Cod, and this house's southern location saved us a half hour on our drive home so we didn't have to go through the city center of Boston. I would absolutely stay here again!

Very clean place. We had some problems with the wifi but was not a big deal. If you're looking for a quiet, secluded spot this isn't it, we knew that going in though. For the price it was great, could use a little more living room furniture though. Thanks.

Overall a great price in a good place!!! We were on the go a lot so we didn’t need much. The seating in the living room could be more but not a big deal unless you’re planning on being there a lot. Bedroom windows could use some darker curtains to help with the morning sun. Again not an huge deal just an observation. Overall we had a great weekend and can’t complain.

This was such a nice home. The most important thing for me was the owner's quick response anytime I texted. The house was clean and up to date. She had everything we needed from coffee to bath towels for each of us. For most people, having ice was a small thing to have, but every other Vrbo I stayed at had no ice. I use a lot of ice. I was worried about being parked next to a gas station. I had " the Club" on my steering wheel and noone bothered it. The area didn't look like an upper level income area, but every single person we talked to was so nice, the whole area was clean. We never felt unsafe even walking to the nearby rail. A bus stop is literally infront of the home. My whole family loved it there. I highly recommend this home if traveling to Boston. The owner really has thought of everything to make you feel at home.

Gracious Hospitality!

I was impressed with the care that was taken to update this apartment in an older building. The floors and wood door and window frames were beautiful. The apartment is very large, rooms are very spacious. A little more seating in the living room would be helpful (there is only seating for 3). The owners supplied everything we needed. They even had a variety of drinks in the refrigerator and a large basket of a variety of snacks on the counter! Communication was great!!! The only thing that was a drawback for me was the city noise (street and trains), but I live in the country with very little noise.
