Clean and super spacious apartment! The host was very responsive and super accommodating! The beds were really comfy and the location was only about a 20min Uber to each restaurant we went to in Boston. Definitely recommend!
My family was here from Canada for a track meet and the location was prefect for the New Balance Track Center and family in Boston. We had an amazing time and enjoyed the well stocked and tastefully decorated home.
The pictures were accurate!!
Parking was a little challenging but Diana quickly had a remedy for us! Would definitely stay again.
The property was clean and just as pictured! Very roomy for 4 adults and 4 teens! The street is a little noisy but the beds are VERY comfy especially after walking miles around the city! The commute was simple via UBER. Diana was amazing and quick to respond! She also gave us a heads up to construction that was happening during our stay!
The property was as advertised. Very clean and spacious. The apartment is located on the third floor, with no elevators. The apartment has only 1 TV so difficult for groups with kids to share in the evening when winding down. However, we would stay here again without hesitation.
Stayed here with my son to visit colleges in Boston. We also toured Boston as saw some of the attractions. It turned out to there was a record-setting cold front during part of our trip. We definitely needed a comfortable, safe and warm place to come back to each day. This place exceeded our expectations.
The apartment was roomy, immaculate, cheerful and homey. I was delighted to find vacation pleasantries throughout the apartment - hotel toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, soaps, a binder with traveller information. There is a cute laundry closet with washer/dryer and laundry supplies. They seem to have thought of everything. The owners were accessible within minutes when we needed help finding something or when the frigid weather threw off the hot water heater (problem was solved immediately). The location is very convenient. The neighborhood is urban, diverse, safe and comfortable.
We loved our stay here!
We had a “girls” long weekend at this property and we could not have asked for a better accommodation! The space was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed to feel right at home. The host was easy to reach and very attentive. The location was convenient to a lot of family attractions like parks and the zoo! Overall great experience!
Property was very nice, clean, and everything was in good working order. Host Diana was welcoming, communicated well, and everything was as described. Only complaint we would have is beyond the host control but loud music playing in the neighborhood at all hours of the night.
We were on a family vacation in June. The apartment is beautiful and beds are comfortable. The location is far from downtown (approx. 45 mins in traffic). The parking in the back of the apartment was great for our oversized vehicle. The neighborhood is a little sketchy if you are not from Boston; however, we felt safe in the apartment. We did uber when we wanted to go places because of parking downtown for our vehicle. Diana was very helpful with information.
Loved our stay here. Place looked even better in person. Very clean and supplies were well stocked. The beds were super comfortable and the house is just adorable. We had a short weekend for a family event and it was so nice to come back to a comfortable and cozy place. Everything was easy to find I didn’t even need to contact the host during our stay. Place is right in the middle of everything, places to eat and nearby convenience store just a walk away. Highly recommend this place!
Wonderful property. Very comfortable and spacious. Lots of special touches. Beds and bedding extremely nice. Property was completely renovated and tasteful. Parking in back was a bonus. Location convenient to getting around the Boston area.
We needed to stay close to Franklin Park for a cross country meet and so picked this property entirely based on location/proximity to the park. We were delighted to find that not only was it convenient, but that the property was beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable, and well-stocked with amenities that displayed close attention to guest comfort. We wish we could have stayed longer!!
We came out from Denver and had an amazing time in Boston — the apartment itself was perfect. Location was a good driving distance from everything we wanted to see and do, but the neighborhood itself was not the best. Definitely didn’t feel safe going for walks or down to the bodega, especially at night. Everything else was great and I would recommend this stay for anyone, but just be aware of the neighborhood if you are not from Boston and wouldn’t have any idea. To be clear, at no time did we feel unsafe at the apartment, it was just the neighborhood itself.
This is a lovely property. However, please be aware that it is on the top floor so you will have to climb four sets of steps which is not easy if you have heavy luggage. We did walk to the Talbot station early in the day and it was a brisk 15 minute walk. There is no Charlie Card machine there nor do any local businesses sell them but luckily they did not check for a ticket either time we used the train into downtown. Have never stayed at a VRBO with so many amenities - four bottles of water, multiple rolls of toilet paper, small basket of personal hygiene products and full bottles of hand soap. Very much appreciated. Home is very spacious and comfortable.
The suite has been beautifully renovated. We stayed with six adult people and it was well-suited for that. The host is wonderful and caring. We would certainly stay there again if in Boston. Only hesitation is that it is a bit far from downtown.
This place was great looks exactly like the pictures posted. The only thing I would recommend is allowing for parking behind the house. There were a lot of cars racing down the street which makes it dangerous for children getting in and out of the cars. I would stay there again! Thank you!
Diana was very attentive to our needs and quick to respond to messages. The apartment itself is SO cute with nice neighbors within the building. We spent most of our days out and about exploring Boston, so the neighborhood wasn’t a huge issue for us. I would recommend this place or stay again myself if I was back in Boston!
The property was exactly how it looked in the pics. The beds were very comfy and the master shower is very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner. The welcome sign was a nice personal touch! One suggestion is hangers, we like to unpack when we travel. Other suggestion would be TV’s in the bedrooms. Very cute property, thank you for having us!
The place is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Hostess was great and responsive! Loved the place. Just know that there are buses to take you to the subway. You will have an experience getting to downtown Boston. Loved the place.
