This home was perfect for us. It was so spacious and had so much to offer. The location was great too. My cousin was with me and she knew her way around, so that was a plus. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much Dana & Gladys
The home was clean and roomy and as described with easy parking right outside. The host provided a keurig, coffee pods, and creamer, as well as mugs, plates, silverware, and toilet paper. 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!

We had a great stay in Boston for our family vacation! The apartment was very clean and plenty big enough for my family of four. The kitchen was well equipped to make some meals and there were plenty of seating options. There was a specific spot in the driveway for us to park that was plenty big enough for my Chevy Traverse. The host was very responsive and checked in on us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed. We had an issue with the shower but they were able to get it looked at and fixed within a few hours.
This vrbo was very, and the host was very kind and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The commuter train is a very short walk away, and we used that to get into the main part of the city. It did take a bit longer than we initially thought (despite being geographically not that far from things we were doing), but that’s just city traffic/life. My husband and siblings greatly appreciated the Keurig and KCups provided. And we all appreciated the streaming access so we could have a movie night one evening. Great that there was offstreet parking so we didn’t have to drive around searching for a spot!
We were in town for a conference for work and didn't want to stay in a hotel. The place was very clean and smelled amazing. Perfect space 3 friends to stay. Host was great she answered when reaching out before the stay and the arrival was seamless.
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.
I would say that the check in process was excellent and informative- I would agree with the reviews about the train noise but we used a white noise app and that pretty much fixed the problem. The previous reviews mentioned that the host left a gift basket with snacks but we didn’t receive one so I would plan to bring your own as well as shampoo or conditioner since there was none provided. The house had blinds but just a heads up- it gets bright very early in the morning and the blinds do not keep the sun out. The check out process was super easy which was a plus.
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 apartment was very clean and comfortable. Be aware that traffic is horrible and it can take a very long time to travel even a few miles. Plan accordingly!
Great Hostess, but loudness house we’ve stayed at..
Great great hostess! Loved the detail pictures for easy check in. House was big, would have loved a little more setting in living room (only had 3 seats.) Welcome basket in kitchen with drinks in fridge was a very thoughtful touch. The only draw back (which is out of everyone’s hands) is the city noise outside. Between the train out back, the bus stop right out front, and the busy road out side, the noise was why louder than what we expected. This house was honestly the loudest house we have ever stayed in!! (There is no sugar coating the noise level.) The hostess really did earn a 5 star review, however I just wanted to be completely honest on the noise level for those who might be sensitive to it.
The entire property was extraordinarily clean. The pictures were very accurate. My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. I was able to park my Yukon extended in the driveway, so I didn't have to worry about parking on the street. Thank you for having us at your place.
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!
Host very welcoming and communicative. The apartment was beautiful with wood floors and well appointed. Great location to Boston attractions and a great kitchen if you enjoy cooking - we did. I recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Boston. A accommodation.
We really enjoyed our stay here, the place was exactly as advertised! They really make this feel like a home and they did add more seating in the living room! The only down fall was the train! But overall would stay again!
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!
My sister and I had a wonderful stay at this property. They property manager was very attentive and responsive. The property was very clean and was equipped with our favorite snacks and drinks which we throughly enjoyed. For us the location is exactly what we needed to quickly and easily get to our planned events in Boston. Thanks for letting us stay with you!
Everything you need in a rental when visiting a city! Location, comfortable beds, and cleanliness!!! I would recommend it 5+stars! Beautiful, clean, just what is needed! I would only suggest a few more bathing towels. Thank you!
