West Roxbury stay for our Boston getaway

We were excited about the property we rented and it exceeded our expectations. The Carriage House is beautiful. David is a wonderful host who is very personable, very responsive, and clearly loves this area. The neighborhood is quiet, beautiful, and near cute shops and restaurants. It is a great home base for our touring of the Boston area. We highly recommend the Red Door Carriage House.

The kitchen was so well-stocked! Thanks, David, for the selection of Keurigs. We are heavy coffee drinkers and probably used more than our share. Check in was so simple. After a 14-hour drive, David met us at the car with a big welcome and helped us to get settled. Couldn’t ask for more!

The house had an overwhelming mildew/mold smell throughout expecially downstairs in bedroom closet. The host stopped by to tell us to make sure the doors and windows were closed. Without opening the windows the smell would have been unbearable.
