We were very pleased with the location and house, super clean, cute, and room to spread out! Overall A. About the only comment is for guests to realize the main bathroom has to go through one of the secondary bedrooms to reach the hallway and upstairs bathroom (and stairs). It was not a deal-breaker for us but just wanted to point that out if it matters to others.

Everything was very clean when we arrived, the housekeepers passed us at the door in fact, which also helped us get into the house faster. Susan was very responsive to our questions as well. The house was comfortable and a second home for us while our home was undergoing construction. We were so lucky that we were able to find something so quickly. Only recommendation— The living room needs another form of lighting, like a lamp. The overhead light was far too bright to watch TV and was the only light in the room so we brought the desk lamp in. Totally a nonissue obviously. Thank you, Susan!

This home is beautiful and clean. The location was convenient enough (we took the commuter train into Boston). There was lots of space: not only 3 bedrooms, but also an office and a 3 season porch. We enjoyed playing lots of Pac-Man, and couldn’t leave until we made it on the top scores list. Know that to access the master bedroom, you have to go through another bedroom. I am giving it 4 stars because we had multiple things break on us. A chair leg buckled and the chair began to collapse. A light fixture fell off the ceiling. The front on the dishwasher feels like it could pull right off every time you open it. There are a few things that might need some upgrading!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Apr 2026
Thank you for your detailed review—we’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the space, the extra rooms, and amenities like the office, porch, and Pac-Man (congrats on making the top scores list!) We also appreciate you noting the layout of the home, as that can be helpful for future guests when planning their stay. Regarding the concerns mentioned, we do want to clarify that both the light fixture and dishwasher were fully intact and functioning properly prior to your arrival. You also advised us that the dishwasher wasn’t working but you later verified to us you inadvertently turned off the power switch to it. The light fixture, in particular, was securely installed and did not have any prior issues. We understand things can happen during a stay, and we will of course take care of all necessary repairs promptly to maintain the quality and safety of the home. We are always working to keep the property in excellent condition and will also review the other items mentioned to see where upgrades can be made. Thank you again for your stay and for your feedback—it helps us continue to improve and provide the best experience possible. —Susan

We loved the quiet neighborhood and fully equipped kitchen. With a new Trader Joe’s not far away, it was super convenient to get the refrigerator stocked and ready for meal preparation. I liked the outdoor grill and, as a family, we utilized and really enjoyed the breakfast area. The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable. Television and WiFi were excellent. This was a great place for a family get together. West Roxbury is a very nice upper middle class neighborhood. We were pleasantly surprised over and over again. Thanks to Susan, our pleasant and very responsive host.

Nice place. Had a nice size kitchen and 2 dinning areas. Each room had a TV and the beds were super comfortable with plenty of pillows. It was chilly in Boston so we had to use the heat and the house heated up quickly. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to many places to eat (and within walking distance). The host was readily available and checked up on us ensuring all our needs were met - this was a nice added touch.

Mixed stay. It was a cute house, in a good location (if you have a car) that fit the 6 of us. The host was very accessible and the house decently equipped. Those are the positives. Now, the negatives. All three beds are atrociously soft with slanted mattresses, cheap polyester sheets and stains. The outdoor furniture (outdoor space was a prime reason we rented this house) was so dirty that none of us wanted to sit on it. The place had not been cleaned well before our arrival, including leftover milk being left out in the counter. There is no real coffee maker, just a Keurig. The owner's assistant never returned with a promised extension cord needed for a bedside lamp. The "adjoining" bedroom means you walk through one to get to the other. And finally, probably the most disconcerting, the owner messaged to tell us that parking should be in the driveway right as friends who parked on the street were leaving, making it ckear that she was watching (creepy), and in conflict with the sign in the house that says that street parking is acceptable.So, no, we wouldn't rent this house again, especially at the price point.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad to hear the home and location worked well for your group and that our team was accessible during your stay. We do want to respectfully clarify a few points for accuracy. There was no milk left out prior to your arrival, and our team did complete a full cleaning before check-in. If anything had been missed, we would have gladly addressed it right away had we been notified during your stay. In regard to commuting, we’re always happy to guide guests—there is a train station within walking distance and a bus stop just around the corner that provides easy access. We didn’t receive any questions about this, but we’re always available to assist when needed. For the outdoor space, we do have new cushion covers available; however, due to weather conditions at the time, they were not put out to prevent damage. We also apologize for any confusion around parking communication. Our intent is always to ensure guests have a smooth experience, not to cause any discomfort. We take all feedback seriously and will continue working to improve. We appreciate you staying with us and wish you the best in your future travels.
