The house is very roomy with enough space for nine of us. There are bedrooms upstairs and down. The 2 1/2 baths were very convenient. We enjoyed the dining space in the kitchen and dining room. Some of our family found the lock entry a little difficult. Jeff is an amazing host. He is an excellent communicator.

Perfect location

This house was perfect for the needs of a three generation family that came to Boston to visit family. The location was ideal and the neighborhood was peaceful, beautiful and safe. The kitchen had the basic amenities necessary for morning coffee, and meals and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. Jeff was always available to answer any questions and check in on our stay. This house worked well for our family!
