The host was great. Very quick to respond to messages. This home is old but charming. We did see some gnarly centipedes so an exterminator is needed or do as we did and relocate them outside. The downstairs bathroom looks updated but no lip on shower stall makes water go all over the bathroom floor so be careful you don’t slip and fall. Laundry is in the basement which has very steep stairs. The home is easy to find and seems to be in a decent area. Grocery store is close by as well as the train station. All in all we loved our trip to Boston and can’t wait to visit again.
House was great well stocked and close to public transportation grocery and restaurants. We were able to go into the city easily with the ability to walk or drive to the T. Victor was a great host and very responsive.
The home was exactly as reported and suited our needs perfectly. There was also a driveway for parking which we were unaware of! Would definitely recommend this property!
Our stay was great. Victor was super easy to contact & replied in a timely manner. Everything was cleaned when we got there. Beds were comfy with extra pillows & blankets if needed. Could not think of one complaint if I had to. 10/10 would stay here again if ever visiting Boston.
We had a great stay. House is clean and well equipped. It’s walking distance to the train line that allowed us to park the car and not use it at all during our stay.
It was a great little house in a quiet neighborhood Victor was easy to get a hold of if we had issues and it was a very clean and comfortable little place. Would stay there again.
This house is in a great location and within walking distance of a grocery store and a lot of dining options. The area is cute and the house is well maintained with plenty of room for 6 people. Downtown Boston is about 30 minutes away (depending on traffic) which was quite convenient. Would stay here again.
The house was a great place to come back and spend the evening after a long day out exploring! It was also out of the hustle and bustle but still close enough to be able to get to places quickly.
This house was conveniently located near the trolley (approx. 3 block walk) which took us to the trolley then subway to downtown area of Boston, so we could leave our vehicle in the driveway (which has a nice L-shaped driveway). The 3 bedroom / 2 bath house was roomy and comfortable for four friends. Large kitchen with plenty of ‘appliances’The host was quick to respond with questions about the house / the area…. We would stay here again if in the area.
