A friend and I were visiting a relative in Boston but didn't want to stay in the city. This was an excellent location for us since it's only a 20 to 30 minute drive away. The apartment is very eclectic with fun decorative touches and an interesting history. Susan was an excellent host and responded quickly to all our requests for information. The view of Boston across the water is stunning. It's an easy 20-minute walk to a grocery and good restaurant which also offers delivery. The only real negative was traffic noise at night. It didn't interfere with our sleeping; but if you are accustomed to complete quiet, it may. Overall, we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Thought I would be able to sit out in the porch and look at the water. That was not the case. The house sits on a fork in the road so it is surrounded my all street and you can hear EVERY SINGLE car that passes by. For a light sleeper like myself the struggle was real.The shower needs a major remodel as you can tell where their is just repair tape and stickers to cover up the breakdown of the tub.After night one I also realized the pillow i slept on had mildew stains. Boston was great but I cant say we'd stay here again.

The compact apartment is about what I expected after checking out the satellite views of the area. Parking and navigation was easy as was access to the bus a block away. Walks along the Quincy Bay view street were pleasant. Our hostess was great with all kinds of helpful advice. Cost was quite reasonable. The only negative was traffic noise our first night [Thursday]. Nits were uneven floors that settled over the decades and a shower that could use updating. I'd go back.

Boston Marathon

Enjoyed being out of Boston and being close to public transportation to get to Boston. Know it was going to be hectic but all the people running in the race and everyone cheering all throughout the course was absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your house and the history of it.
