Very big place close to the train station for easy access into the city. We were a family of 6 and had plenty of space. There is a lot of street and train noise but we brought sound machines and slept very well. Host was super helpful and responsive with questions. Perfect place to explore Boston from and relax at after a fun day in the city!

There was a gas station with a shop right next door where we purchased bottled water, and snacks for the kids. Thanks for a great stay!

Great stay in a charming home

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was exactly as advertised. It’s very clean and in a cute borough with some great restaurants and shops and any other convenience you might need. The apartment has a large kitchen that’s great for cooking your own meals if you wish to do so. Check in was completely seamless even though we were arriving late at night.

Wonderful location

Had a 2 night stay in Boston, this location was perfect. Lots of good restaurants close and a grocery store was a few blocks either way. We were able to take the bus/train to downtown and the train back (stop is less than 10 minutes walk).The property was great for our family, we were able to cook breakfast one of the mornings. There was some confusion on the initial check-in but the host was there to save the day!

Very nice place not far from Boston

We enjoyed our stay there and we didn’t mind the street and train noise as it’s not unlike other cities. The hosts really had the house neatly set up and very clean throughout, and we appreciated the updated living room with additional seating. Very pleasantly surprised to see some of the small amenities waiting for us, as the small things go a long way to make us feel welcome!Overall we had a very nice stay and would recommend it highly.!

The host was amazing! She checked on us multiple times. The place was very clean! We had one issue and the host resolved it within an hour. The pictures on the VRBO site do need to be updated. The place is very spacious!There were four adults staying here. The amenities were perfect. The only issue we had, that cannot be controlled by the host, was the outside noise is very loud. It is on a busy street. The bus stops in front of the property and the train runs behind it. Also, when the host says read the parking signs….make sure you do it! We received parking ticket. If you are hungry and want some amazing food near by, eat at Sophias Grotto! The food is amazing!!!!! It was hard to find-but so worth it!!!

This beautiful home was perfect for our 3-day stay with six adults. The restored wood floors are stunning and run throughout the home. It was extremely clean and welcoming, and the gas station next door made fueling up our rental car super easy! There is a bus stop right in front, but we chose to drive rather than take the bus. The house is in a safe neighborhood about half an hour from the touristy part of Boston. We really only slept and showered there since we were out enjoying wonderful Boston the whole time - if this is your first trip to Boston, you're gonna love it!! Be sure to do the Freedom Trail! It will take you to most of the sights in the city. We also drove out to Cape Cod, and this house's southern location saved us a half hour on our drive home so we didn't have to go through the city center of Boston. I would absolutely stay here again!
