Hello!Thank you so much for your kind review! It is great to be close to restaurants locally and transportation to Boston to enjoy more local flavor!!Come again!
This is lovely home with everything we needed for our stay. It was quiet at night and in a safe neighborhood. Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, and the train very close by. Owner was so nice and helpful.

Thank you so much for your review!! It is very helpful to me as we are new at this!!!Take care and come back soon!!!
Excellent home away from home. 7A was clean, comfortable and completely equipped. Located a few blocks from a Trader Joe’s and other shops and the commuter line made it a convenient location. The owner was mostly responsive and appreciated the early check in. A minor glitch with both lightbulbs going out in the kitchen leaving us with darkness for a day; would have been nice to hear back about how to replace the bulbs. Other than that, we were happy with our home away from home.

"From the owner: Thank you for sharing your review. I’m so glad the home felt comfortable, clean, and convenient for your stay, and that the early check-in was helpful. I appreciate you noting the minor lighting issue, as guest comfort is a priority, and feedback like this helps ensure everything is in good working order. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and I’m happy to hear it felt like a home away from home."
It is a fantastic location and besides the train it is very quiet. There is no laundry in the property although the description lists it. Also the kitchen sink and bathroom tub/shower had difficulty draining. The beds were very comfortable and it worked well for our family.

Thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and found the beds comfortable. We will have all the drains checked and addressed by a plumber to ensure everything is in proper working order. Regarding laundry, the listing notes that a coin-operated laundry is available as a community amenity, though the house itself does not include a washer and dryer. For additional convenience, there is also a wash-and-fold facility located about a mile away. We’re pleased the apartment worked well for your family and hope it contributed to an enjoyable stay.
