The inside was very nice and clean. Snacks and water were provided which was nice. The neighborhood was not what we were expecting. From the description, it sounded like it was in a nice neighborhood with lots of restaurants nearby. This was not the case. There were only a couple of restaurants in walking distance and only one had a good review. Also, there was never any mention of people living upstairs. This was a problem for us. There was a major disturbance in the middle of the night and we had to leave the next morning. While this disturbance was not the owner's fault, we were disappointed this happened. And I have to say VRBO did their best to make it right for us!

Great location in Dorchester

Clean and spacious, this location is about a 5-10 minute walk from red line stops and 20 minutes from downtown Boston by transit. One cajun seafood and two pizza places are blocks away for easy dinner choices. This place is fantastic for families visiting the Boston area.

Went for a graduation at Northeastern

Clean comfortable and newly renovated. The neighborhood is being re-gentrified and still has some rough areas but we were able to walk to a fantastic Italian restaurant and St Marks church next door. Otherwise easy to Uber to all the sights of Boston.

Comfortable home away from home

Fantastic location for our college visit weekend. The large apartment was very comfortable and cozy. The snacks and extra towels were very welcome. The kitchen was well equipped with many plates, glasses, cookware, etc. Just bring your own spices and you are ready to cook up your meals. The extra bonus was on street parking and a nearby (walking distance) to walk our dog. The hosts were also very welcoming and responsive.

One of the most important aspects of a VRBO that i stay at is that is clean. This home was spotless. Very comfortable and was equipped with everything thing you could want. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. We used uber to go everywhere and always got a car within 5 minutes so location was not a concern at all. We were with another couple and we we enjoyed our stay.

Fun times

Overall we had a great experience here. We didn't sleep the greatest the first two nights due to people coming and going upstairs at all hours of the night (not sure what was going on up there). But ear plugs saved the day/night. The house was clean and was a welcome respite for the hot summer days in Boston.

This is a lovely 3 bedroom condo about a 10 min walk from the Shawmut red line station. The off street parking is essential as on street parking is hard to find. The parking is stated to be two spots, but if you have a large vehicle ( ie large SUV, Truck, or minivan) it can really only accommodate one vehicle. This unit is in the Dorchester neighborhood. There were many nights and mornings that noise from the neighbors was disturbing at times making sleep challenging. Neighbors were friendly and no concern for safety. The hosts provided snacks on arrival, they also provided detergent pods for the clothes washer and dishwasher which was very convenient and helpful. There were large screen TV’s in each bedroom and the living room that were SMART TV’s. The HVAC system is loud, so at times it made it challenging to listen to the TV or have a conversation when it was running right next to you. The kitchen was well appointed to allow eat in meals. We had a very enjoyable stay and appreciated this location's many features.
