Fun and Friendly

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.

Pre-Halloween Stay

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.

What a great place!

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!

What a cool rental

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? 😁

Great Family Stay

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!

Gorgeous home in Malden

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!

Great location

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.
