We had an amazing time and the hosts were very helpful. It is nice to be outside the major city but the house is still close to many historic sites and other family activities.
Very nice, historic property! Plenty of updates and creature comforts for the modern family. We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay, with the biggest complaint (and an EXTREMELY small one at that) being the creakiness of the wooden floors. We would absolutely come back and stay again the next time we come to Boston.
Everything was perfect. Central location for going to Boston sites and Salem too. Comfortable setting and very friendly host. It was great for our first trip to Boston. Highly recommend staying here.
Owner met us at the property and showed us around very nice and helpful! Property was very nice and cleaned also organized with further information as needed to make out stay very enjoyable!
We really enjoyed staying at the firehouse. The accommodations were great and there is a lot of interesting wall art. Very clean, comfy beds, really great. Owners were amazing as well.
The lower level of this two floor apartment actually feels larger than you would expect from the photos. Plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining. The upstairs bedrooms are both spacious and comfortable, with a shared bathroom down the hall. We really enjoyed our week in Malden at the fire house!
Amazing place to stay. The pictures don't do this place justice. It was amazing. I can't say enough about our stay.it was everything we expected plus more. Anyone staying here will be extremely satisfied
We are a family of four traveling in New England for our vacation and wanted to spend a few days in Boston area. Location was very convenient to all areas in Boston and surrounding. The apartment is well equipped and communication with the host was fabulous. My only regret is not getting a tour of the rest of the building to see how the owners are transforming this historic building. Maybe next time? 😁
Super clean and host was very easy to communicate with. Off street parking was nice as well. The host did a tremendous job on renovations. If we are back in the area we will definitely book again!
The property and hosts, Lisa & Jon, were amazing! Everything in their listing was exactly as described and shown in the pictures, and exceeded our expectations! With a growing family in the Boston area, the Malden Firehouse will be our go-to rental for our visits! Thanks, Lisa & Jon!
Unique property located in a quiet area. Host met us upon arrival and graciously showed us around. Clean, comfortable and convient. Short walk or drive to restaurants, grocery and metro transportation. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family had a a great stay at Chez Fuego! The converted fire house was a lot of fun for our sons. It was clean with plenty of room for everyone and many amenities included. The owners were very communicative and helpful with our questions. Easy to get the the T and navigate the city from there while avoiding the traffic. The designated parking spot was a great feature as well. Would stay again!
This was the perfect spot for the 4 of us to reside while in ‘Boston’ for the big race; we found it easy to navigate transportation. Cleanliness of property and strong communication are key factors when I select a place to stay: this site exceeded our expectations! Highly recommended!
This restored fire house made our trip to Boston all the more memorable! The hosts were so accommodating, the house was extremely clean and our family of 6 slept comfortably! So cozy and fun, perfect location also and the parking spot was so nice! We couldn’t be more happy with our stay!
We appreciated the Fire House/ 'Chez Fuego' decor details in this comfortable, clean, and cozy house. The host and owners were friendly and communicative. We had a great time! Thank you!!
We had such a great experience at Chez Fuego. Not only was the space beautiful, clean and comfortable but the owners were so friendly and helpful. We were close to wverything yet away from all the big city traffic. Thank you so much for everything and making this stay so relaxing.
This gorgeous restored Firehouse was a perfect getaway for our group of adults. The property is maintained beautifully and the owners provide everything needed. The beds we’re comfortable, the house was spotless! The owners had great advice on how to ride the train and commuter rail. They also provided great advise on places to eat and things to do. The location is perfect whether your visiting Boston or adventuring to Salem! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
The property was clean, had everything we needed, great location. Close to the commuter rail, 30-45 minute drive to Salem (depending on traffic). The owners greeted us upon arrival and gave a tour of the property. They have a folder with directions to the commuter rail, restaurants and places to visit. The owners do live in the apartment that is connected to the property but we never knew they were there. We really enjoyed the property, it is beautiful. Property is just as described.
