This was a great house for our needs and the beds were very comfortable! Really easy to get to Boston and do all of the city things. Nice neighborhood and not too far from Weyman's which is my new favorite grocery store - we don't have anything like that in the PNW.

Excellent Bungalow in a very convenient location. Perfect for families, couples or solo travelers. Hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with and very responsive. The kids loved the air hockey table. We will definitely come again. Perfect spot for visiting Boston!

My family and I stayed here in October to visit Boston & Salem. The location was close enough to get Ubers (to avoid the insane crowds at the train station). The kitchen was great although we didn’t cook - we just heated up pizza but had to use foil as there was no sheet pan. Beds were very comfy. The only challenge we had was sharing one small bathroom with 6 ppl. Since the bathroom only has a towel bar (and no TP holder either there’s a hole in the wall where it prob used to be) - but there’s no place to hang up a toiletry bag & the sink is not big enough to hold one. If there were hooks on the back of the door, that would help a lot. The tv was nice & we watched a movie one night. I found a lamp w a broken shade in the closet and used that as the lighting in the living room was too bright (for us - that’s just our personal preference). All in all it served its purpose & we enjoyed our stay.

We were in town for Head of The Charles and on the morning of the race it was an easy 20 minute drive in. The neighborhood was super quiet and plenty of options nearby for dining out and supermarkets. My teenage boys especially loved the Ping Pong/air hockey table.

The house was adequately clean, beds were comfortable though the bedding lacked top sheets. The bathroom was clean but small, no washcloths were provided, a heads up prior to arrival and we would have brought our own. My grandsons ages 10 and 12 enjoyed the air hockey and ping pong table. The round kitchen table provided comfortable seating and encouraged lingering for conversations. The kitchen was adequately supplied with dishes, cups, glasses, utensils, pots and pans.information about the local area restaurants and attractions would have been nice.

We were a family of 7 who were lucky enough to find this cozy little gem! We were in town for the weekend and the location was ideal and conveniently located to everything. House was clean and had all the amenities you would need! Communication with the owner was immediate when we had questions! We will be back! :)

Stay for graduation week

We were visiting Boston for graduation and picked this place to stay. We had a really good experience and communication with the Cecile was seamless. She was very quick in her response for anything we needed during the stay. The location is a short drive from Cambridge area but the neighborhood is very nice and quiet. The unit is very clean and functional. We had a wonderful stay and recommend this place. We really appreciate a very prompt response from the property manager for anything we needed in the unit and during our stay.

Very Nice Space!

I only had the issue about my code not working to enter and i couldnt get a hold of anyone in the moment and it was raining, haha. But they responded and let me in! House is very nice!! The only issue is my kids are older, majority of cabinets were childlock and i have NO IDEA how to unlock. So we couldn’t access cabinets and wasnt able to find a broom to clean up. I like to keep clean. But. Othererwisd, it was super nice inside, super responsive, and close to 8min drive to a wegmans! Not bad! :) i’d definitely visit again.

Our family enjoyed our stay and were able to feel right at home. The property was fairly well equipped and had most of the things we expected to find. We used the kitchen for cooking which had cookware, plates, bowls, utensils, a tea kettle, and dishwashing liquid and sponges. Renters should bring their own diahwashing machine pods or detergent if they want to use it. The one bathroom available in the house was pretty small but adequate. It had an exhaust fan and towels, but renters should be prepared to bring their own hand towels and washclothes. The bedrooms were comfortable and had pillows, fitted sheets, and duvet covers. Renters should bring their own top sheets and blankets if necessary. The home had several portable window unit air conditioners which seemed to effectively cool the house when they were all running. However, they made it challenging to close the curtains while the units were running, as their were no blinds in the windows. The owner was easily accessible through the app and quick to reply. They have obviously invested in some upgrades to the house, which were nice and appreciated. I would recommend the place for most renters and would consider staying again during our next trip to Boston.
