Anniversary Getaway

It was wonderful! Nice, quiet, cozy & clean! Close enough to the freeway & city to get around but far enough away from the city where you get a nice, homey feel. Definitely would recommend to anyone with a spouse/significant other for a nice, relaxing getaway.

Awe, I was there for a bittersweet reason, memorial for dear lifelong friend… the solitude and calm of this place was just what I needed while I attended this important event… and on a brighter note, I got together with old friends and celebrated a beautiful life. I guess the ole saying lemons into lemonade. But, in the end, I had a glorious time in this beautiful home with its very kind and generous proprietor Charles, what a gentle, genuine and sweet man who was very attentive, down to earth and helpful. Everything was perfect. I felt like I’m staying with a family or friends. I’ll go back in a heartbeat to that place. Great location with great people! I loved every room I saw, was such beautiful place inside and outside…. just as pleasant as it could be. Close to everything in center in Brighton and not far from Brookline or Boston for that matter I will definitely go back in a heartbeat… Looking forward to my next visit!!! Thank you again Charles for a delightful and memorable stay!!!

Clean, comfortable, accessible

This was a good fit for us because we were in town for 3 days and needed easy access to the Fenway part of town. It was an easy 10 minute drive. Parking on the street at the residence was easy. The room was clean and comfortable and sharing the bathroom was not an issue.

Lovely stay

My sister and stayed here and found it a sweet stay, the bedroom had soft comfy sheets and the mattress was incredibly perfect that the both of us fell right to sleep. The neighbor hood had amazingly helpful people who guided us to Salam while walking their dog. I’m glad we stayed here, it only increased the Salem Halloween experience. It made us feel apart of the community. Thank you for this treasured memory.

Great room!

The property was very clean, comfortable, and is a historic piece of Boston! It's a great price and in a very convenient location with proximity to the bus. There were no issues with the shared bathroom or kitchen and I really enjoyed drinking my coffee on the back patio in the morning. The host is very communicative. There are a couple flights of stairs up to the house and inside the house to get to the room, bathroom, and kitchen, so I would not recommend this room to anyone who struggles going up and down stairs.

Comfortable stay

I had a great stay in the Pistachio Room at the TPH property—it was exactly as described. The photos were accurate, and the room itself, painted a soothing pale green, was cozy and inviting. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shared bathroom was conveniently located just outside the door.The neighborhood felt safe, and the common areas were clean and well-maintained. I appreciated having access to laundry facilities if needed, and the check-in process was super smooth and consise thanks to excellent communication with the host.Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s a residential area in the city, but there are several bus routes nearby in Oak Square at the bottom of the hill. Just be prepared for a bit of a workout—the uphill walk is steep! It's also close to the Mass Pike (I-90), which is convinient if you are driving.Overall, this was a fantastic alternative to the pricey hotels in and around the city. I'd definitely recommend it!

The futuristic house

I am still so speechless about this house. There has been so much work and effort put into the house to make it beautiful and it has paid off. The different lights used around the house remind me of home. I’ve been away for 10 weeks and this house was the perfect way to bring me back. Everywhere is spotless and the location is perfect. The Neighborhood felt extremely safe and is only a bus ride away from the city centre. When I come back to Boston, I will be choosing this house again!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The communication with the host about parking was not very clear. I have trouble walking, and the host suggested that I should park at the bottom of a very steep hill. I drove around for an out an hour to try to find a better option. After speaking to a neighbor I was told that you can park on the street next to the house for free. Not sure why the host never suggested this? Also either I misread the property description or it was not listed that I would have to climb a lot of very steep and narrow stairs to get to the property. And as I mentioned before, I have some difficulty walking. But I made it work.My reservation was also for two people and there was only one towel and one sponge left in my room for a shower. And a SPONGE? No wash cloths. Strange. After requesting more towels, the host said we would be charged 10 PER TOWEL. after explaining that we had only received one towel the day before, he waved the fee. Which was nice. The bathroom was very nice. It had a nice patio outside. Has a vintage feel. Kitchen was nice. Room didn’t have AC, wasn’t aware of that upon booking, but they provided a fan in the closet. Which was fine. Not a bad stay, not completely upset. But I think the 10 towel charge is ridiculous and lack of communication about parking is unacceptable.

An interesting stay in a nice old house

It was in a nice neighborhood with some great little restaurants within walking distance and a handy 7-11. There was a very nice little Italian restaurant called From Scratch. Great foos and service. We had a car and could be downtown Boston in 15-20 minutes. Be warned, it has quite a few steps up to the room if you’re lugging a heavy suitcase up. The shared kitchen was very well equipped ( I loved the toaster! You’ll see if you stay there). We shared a bathroom with another room which is OK until you desperately want to use it and someone is having a shower in the middle of the night! By the way, the bathroom is very nice and modern. We both loved the shower. The bed for us wasn’t the most comfortable. We kept sinking in the middle to each other. The duvet was super heavy and thick. OK on a super cold night but it was quite warm in Boston. The deck off of the kitchen was very nice to sit out and have a glass of wine in the evening after sightseeing which we did with some other guests. We walked down the street in the mornings to have breakfast outside at the Glasser coffee shop. Great food and cheap. Parking on the street is allowed. It is a non-permit parking area. We had no trouble parking our car close to the house. I’m not sure why Charles says you can park free on the square, you can park free on the street! I tried to get Charles to clarify this but did not get a clear response. I got an answer from neighbors walking their dog. Overall a good stay.
