Very happy with our stay!

A group of co-workers opted to stay here as opposed to booking a hotel during a conference taking place on BU campus. This worked perfect for our needs! Everyone had their own space, location was ideal, 6 minute drive to our conference, check-in and check-out process was smooth, and extra points for off-street parking!

Excellent Local Boston Family Friendly Rental

A great VRBO Rental This apartment is beautifully furnished and appointed. It’s in a very convenient location to get into Cambridge, parts of Boston, and access to the MASS Pike. Well stocked with all of the kitchen tools and cooking utensils required. Only concern we had was the platform beds not mattress in the rooms. For seniors, this could be an issue, if you have back problems. Standard Cable channels but no NESN Sports for local sport teams. Otherwise this is an exceptional rental property.

Everythjng was perfect from our first communication about booking until the extended checkout they graciously offered us! The house was clean, lovely and suited our multi-generational family of 9 perfectly. There were one or two hiccups in the beginning where the cleaners accidentally put towels away instead of out for us and a smoke detector went off. Both completely random accidents and could not be controlled for. Both times we contacted Michelle, her response was quick, friendly, helpful, and supportive - even when both contacts were later in the evening. Michelle was out of town and her husband was right there to immediarely help us with our needs. It was such a positive experience! The house was very close to Boston without being in the city. We walked from the house to a few cute brunch places, a few vintage shops, and just a nice walk around the neighborhood. If we return to the area, we will absolutely look to stay at Michelle's home again! Thank you so much for such a lovely stay!!!
