If you’re looking for a house for a large family or group, this house is perfect. All was clean and comfortable. The beds were wonderful, and the house is well stocked with necessities. There is a lovely yard space, but it is a quiet neighborhood, so if you’re looking for a place to rage/party, this might not be your best bet. The neighborhood is really nice and it felt very safe. The location is GREAT!. It is close to the Arboretum, and easy to get to Fenway. The owner was quick to respond and communicative. Great house for a Boston vacation.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

In Boston to see grandson graduate Harvard. Didn't spend much time at the VRBO rental, but when we did, space was perfect and mostly clean. Refinished floors were beautiful. Mattresses seemed new and were very comfortable. Neighborhood is quiet. Didn't use heat and slept with windows open. Tried AC once to cool upstairs, which overcooled basement. Host Jeff Mei handled our concerns immediately.

Great place to stay

Stayed 4 days for work in downtown Boston. Very clean house with many extras. Plenty of Paper products and cooking extras. Back deck is very nice. Safe neighborhood. We mostly took Uber into town for event at the Park Plaza 20-30 min ride. All 3 of us were very happy and we rent places often. Planning on staying again this Spring!

So helpful

The home is very well set-up for a group of our size (six adults). We wished we could have used the deck, as it seemed lovely. We arrived during a wet and chilly period. The host helped immediately with extra bedding and thermostat settings.

Awesome

The host thought of everything! We could have just showed up with clothes, they had towels, toiletries, bottles of water...very neat clean and spacious! We had 8 adults it was great to have 2 & 1/2 bathrooms we could all get ready no problem. No long check out list, we took out our trash and left, so easy and convenient. Host Sent us a text with local information and had great communication though out the entire process. If we ever come back to Boston I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location

This house was perfect for the needs of a three generation family that came to Boston to visit family. The location was ideal and the neighborhood was peaceful, beautiful and safe. The kitchen had the basic amenities necessary for morning coffee, and meals and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. Jeff was always available to answer any questions and check in on our stay. This house worked well for our family!
