The house is in a great location and has off street parking. The kitchen has basic supplies, but I would not plan to do a lot of cooking. There a few maintenance issues that need to be addressed, but our party of seven had a good time.

Quaint basement bungalow

It is a very cozy basement apartment with tons of privacy. The only complaint was the lack of a second bathroom that was advertised. It was very clean with charming decorations and the bedrooms were spacious.

Used this location for our startup team's offsite meeting (3 adults). All and all the stay was good. Nice quiet neighborhood. Checking in was a little confusing since the original listing showed pictures of a separate apartment that i thought was included, but it wasnt. So that was a bit wonky. And there were some quarky things for 3 adults - one room had only twin beds. And there is no master. One small full bath off the kitchen, and then a full bath between 2 queen rooms. The neighborhood was cute, several walkable things, doordash and instacart availability. I would say this place is good size for smaller families - but note, the floors are creeky and there are apartments above and below, so if you are sensitive to those sounds, may not be place for you.

Boston Marathon

Great little apartment!! Only thing I didn’t notice disclosed in listing was the sounds from upstairs. Not total shock being as it is in basement, but weekend nights seemed louder. I would suggest little things to have on hand, salt & pepper, and maybe 1 larger microwaveable cooking dish. Overall, recommend!!!
