Mikkie's place is very clean, comfortable and in a convenient location. She met us at check in to go over all the features in the apartment and answer any questions. The space had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We would definitely come again.

About the host
Your host
I’m originally from South London, England, and travel has always been an important part of my life. Over the years I’ve been fortunate to visit many different places throughout Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean, and those experiences have shaped the way I enjoy hosting.
As a traveler myself, I understand how meaningful it can be to feel comfortable and welcomed in a new place. Hosting gives me the opportunity to share a bit of the Boston area with visitors and help them experience the neighborhoods, nature, and culture that make this region special.
When I’m not running my massage therapy practice, you’ll usually find me walking in the woods with my dog Cooper, exploring local trails and parks, or cooking and entertaining friends around my dinner table. I love bringing people together, and sharing food, family, and friendship is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Why they chose this property
West Medford has a wonderful balance that is increasingly rare: it feels like a true neighborhood community, yet it is incredibly well connected to Boston and the surrounding cities.
What I enjoy most is the access to nature and outdoor spaces while still being close to everything. The Mystic River, nearby trails, and the Middlesex Fells Reservation are just minutes away, making it easy to go for a walk, run, or bike ride. At the same time, you’re only a short trip from Cambridge, Somerville, and downtown Boston, with their vibrant food scenes, museums, and historic sites.
The neighborhood itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel with beautiful old homes, local cafés, and friendly neighbors. It’s a place where people still greet each other on the street, and that sense of community is something I really value.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property special is the feeling of being in a peaceful residential setting while still having easy access to the city.
Guests often appreciate how quiet and comfortable the space feels after a day exploring Boston, yet they’re only minutes away from restaurants, public transportation, universities, and historic neighborhoods.
I’ve also tried to create a space that reflects the things I personally value when traveling: comfort, simplicity, and a sense of home. The property is designed to be a place where guests can relax, cook a meal, read, or simply unwind.
Another unique aspect is the focus on local culture and sustainability. I enjoy introducing guests to the area’s parks, ecosystems, and local food scene, and encouraging visitors to experience the region in a thoughtful and respectful way.
My goal as a host is simple: to help guests feel comfortable, welcomed, and connected to the place they’re visiting.
