Jess's place was an excellent place for my husband, daughter, and me to rest and relax between college visits and visits with friends in the Boston area. The little apartment was clean, the bathroom was spacious, and the beds were comfy. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and there was a nice hiking trail within easy walking distance. The kitchen had all the amenities (though we didn't cook while we were there). Highly recommend.

Boston suburbs

I enjoy my stay during the process of moving my two daughter, the small one in Tufts university and my big one from one apartment in East Boston to her new one on East Cambridge. This place was located perfectly to have a wonderful and pleasant time

Close to rehab- perfect!

Stayed here with mother in law- to be close to her spouse in rehab. Very comfortable. Had everything we needed in a quiet residential neighborhood. The host was responsive, efficient and very accommodating. Clear information made the stay easy.

Excellent Experience

This property is in a great location and a very short commute to the "T" to travel into the city. The in-law suite was perfect and everything was as advertised. The host was prompt in responses to our questions and needs.

Clean and convenient

My friends reported that they found your home clean and convenient. We made no meals there and were out and about all day every day so the place didn’t really get any heavy use. Their one suggestion at the end of the stay was to take the plastic mattress covers off the beds to get rid of the crackling and wrinkling. Thank you for sharing your in-law apartment!

I am a multidisciplinary designer and realtor who has real estate licenses in both Massachusetts and Georgia. I would be more than happy to help you with any design and real estate needs.

During your stay
Self check-in and check-out. I won’t be available in person, and prefer communicating through the app. You will receive a passcode for a keyless door lock on the date you are arriving and a guide video from the front door to the private entry of the suite. Each group receives a different passcode for their stay.
