Mikkie's place is very clean, comfortable and in a convenient location. She met us at check in to go over all the features in the apartment and answer any questions. The space had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would definitely come again.

This charming garden apartment was perfect for my husband and I during our five night stay. It is clean & cozy with a beautiful backyard garden that even lights up at night. This was our first visit to Boston and wanted a place that was close to Cambridge, the downtown area and to the airport. The neighborhood is also near the river for nature walks and has easy access to grocery stores, public transportation, etc. The apartment has everything you need to feel right at home. The host is super organized and friendly. The booking was easy to do & the host kept in touch to make sure everything was Ok. She was also very responsive if we had any questions.Overall we had a wonderful stay & would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a good location at a reasonable price.

We stayed here on May 5-8, 2026. It was wonderful. Our plane was delayed to Boston, which made us getting in later. Mikkie was able to accommodate us no problem. The backyard is beautiful. It has beautiful lights and plants. I wish we had more time there just to relax in the back yard. The apartment was well equipped and Mikkie even gave us distilled water for our cpap machines. She gave us information for good places to eat. We were within a couple of miles of Cambridge, which is where my son was graduating from college. It was a great trip and I would stay here again!

I hope you return and have time to enjoy the peace of the garden and all the area has to offer. Until then, be well

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I’m originally from South London, England, and travel has always been an important part of my life. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to visit many different places throughout Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean, and those experiences have shaped the way I enjoy hosting.

As a traveler myself, I understand how meaningful it can be to feel comfortable and welcomed in a new place. Hosting gives me the opportunity to share a bit of the Boston area with visitors and help them experience the neighborhoods, nature, and culture that make this region special.

When I’m not running my massage therapy practice, you’ll usually find me walking in the woods with my dog Cooper, exploring local trails and parks, or cooking and entertaining friends around my dinner table. I love bringing people together, and sharing food, family, and friendship is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Why they chose this property

West Medford has a wonderful balance that is increasingly rare: it feels like a true neighborhood community, yet it is incredibly well connected to Boston and the surrounding cities.

What I enjoy most is the access to nature and outdoor spaces while still being close to everything. The Mystic River, nearby trails, and the Middlesex Fells Reservation are just minutes away, making it easy to go for a walk, run, or bike ride. At the same time, you’re only a short trip from Cambridge, Somerville, and downtown Boston, with their vibrant food scenes, museums, and historic sites.

The neighborhood itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel with beautiful old homes, local cafés, and friendly neighbors. It’s a place where people still greet each other on the street, and that sense of community is something I really value.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property special is the feeling of being in a peaceful residential setting while still having easy access to the city.

Guests often appreciate how quiet and comfortable the space feels after a day exploring Boston, yet they’re only minutes away from restaurants, public transportation, universities, and historic neighborhoods.

I’ve also tried to create a space that reflects the things I personally value when traveling: comfort, simplicity, and a sense of home. The property is designed to be a place where guests can relax, cook a meal, read, or simply unwind.

Another unique aspect is the focus on local culture and sustainability. I enjoy introducing guests to the area’s parks, ecosystems, and local food scene, and encouraging visitors to experience the region in a thoughtful and respectful way.

My goal as a host is simple: to help guests feel comfortable, welcomed, and connected to the place they’re visiting.
