House worked very well for our party of eight. It was conveniently located near the places we wanted to visit and the train station. However, I would recommend being cautious if you have young children, as the stairs are quite steep. Two of our kids slipped on the stairs twice.

The house was just as pictured in the VRBO ad. The house was clean and very well stocked as well. I’ve stayed in places where 2 rolls of TP were supplied and this one had plenty of everything. Coffee and filters were there, it was great!! I’d stay here again if I went back.

Very spacious for our family functional stay. Loved the area of Arlington with easy access to all our needs and visits. Stairwell, per steps to top level, were a little narrow for seniors' mobility - good for kids...:-) But all were careful and it all worked out.

Great location

I was looking for a quiet getaway. The location of this property in a quiet neighborhood, helped to contribute to that as I used it as a home base for traveling around Boston and the Vineyard. It was clean and well kept. very walkable neighborhood. It was nice to get away from hustle and bustle of the city at the end of a long day of sightseeing.
