We stayed here during the marathon. It is a wonderful place to stay. Bob and Janice are the best. They go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. They make you feel like you are someone they have always known. The place was very clean and had all the conveniences you need. I will stay here again, and would recommend it to anyone.

Nicest hosts in Boston!

My husband, 11 year-old son, and I loved this place! Two rooms left us plenty of space to spread out. Very clean and nicely decorated. Made popcorn one night and borrowed butter from Bob and Janice right next door. They introduced us to previously unexplored Dorchester history and mailed us a large packet of information about Boston and surrounding areas. We have already recommended Bob and Janice to friends and family. Next time we'll fly right into Logan so we can spend more time with them! Thanks so much for a lovely time! Mike, Margie, and Joshua.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was modern, roomy and comfortable. The free pick-up and drop-off at the airport was a first for us, and incredibly convenient when traveling with luggage. The apartment was quiet yet easily accessible by bus or T to Boston and Cambridge. There were plenty of towels and the bed was very comfortable. It was also quiet. The owners were very kind and helpful and sent a huge package of maps and brochures before our visit so we could prepare for it. I really recommend renting this charming apartment.

Best Value in Boston! Best Hosts!

I researched a lot of places before settling on this one, and it even exceeding my expectations. The apartment was IMMACULATELY clean and well-supplied with every possible convenience (and some unexpected extras). Bob and Janice take a lot of pride in their property and it really shows. It was roomy, comfortable (bed is extremely comfortable!), quiet (that was important to me as a writer) and very conveniently located. Bus around the corner, subway easy walk, many restaurants and services close walk away. Hands down, Bob and Janice have to be the best owner/hosts in Boston -- even a pick up/drive back to the airport. Their local knowledge and kind assistance made my stay all the more enjoyable. Thanks again Bob and Janice! This property won't disappoint.

What a wonderful place to stay in Boston. Its very close to downtown, the subway is only a 5-10 min walk away and you can cab it back from downtown in about 5 minutes. The owners are lovely people who are extremely helpful and courteous and the accomodations are clean and well kept. And theres a parking spot included as well! I would definetly come back here and would highly recommend it to friends or anyone considering a trip to boston.
