Perfect Location, Great Stay

Suite is in the lower level of a beautiful home that is easy to find and within the safe neighborhood of Reading, MA. The hosts were lovely. We greatly appreciated being welcomed by them and made to feel comfortable. They were sweet and checked-in briefly to ensure all needs were met. We had the opportunity to enjoy our privacy while being within easy driving distance from both Salem and Boston. We managed to visit both and return to our suite safely with ease. Would strongly recommend staying here.

Great space for a weekend in Boston

My wife and I really enjoyed our time during our recent visit. The space is large and private and the homeowners were very welcoming, including giving us local recommendations. We really appreciated the private entrance since we were coming in so late and leaving after the homeowners and they saved us a spot in their driveway so we didn't have to street park. We didn't mind the sound of the kids walking around upstairs, but renters should note that this space is the basement of a family who does live in the house and shouldn't be surprised. The space was perfect for us though and we'd happily stay again if we ever find ourselves out there!

Nice Basement Studio

The hosts were very accommodating allowing us to move our entire stay by one day when our plans changed. The hosts are kind, gave a tour when we arrived, and said hello when we came and went.The pictures are accurate: it's a large studio basement apartment that uses furniture and room dividers to separate the main bed area and the living area (that has the option for 2 twin beds). Our kids really enjoyed the foosball table. While there isn't a full kitchen or kitchenette, there are a few kitchen appliances, like a full sized fridge! The only sink is in the bathroom.The outdoor patio is a shared space. And while the hosts have a Labrador dog in the backyard, the dog isn't allowed in the basement studio, so, the inside is truly pet free, which was a huge plus for us!The parking situation has apparently changed since the listing was written: there was no driveway parking available. We were told to park across the street from the driveway on a road that felt busy during morning/evening rush hours.For a basement studio, this is a good and comfortable place to stay. We would stay again.

Great Location Clean - Your spot for the Marathon or Boston SIghtseeing

This is a great location for anyone trying to get in and out of Boston. Good things: Owner super responsive, everything they said you would ave was there. Good spot for family - sleeps 4 comfortably. Bathroom really clean. Easy to get into. Good parking. Foos ball table and big tv with comfy leather couch to hang out on and watch the Red Sox games. Big clean refrigerator and washer and dryer. Super nice patio with great furniture. Painless off street parking. Wifi signal strong. Great value - no way are you getting a hotel anywhere near here for this price. Minus: You are literally in someone's basement. So, since it was ridiculously humid, even though they have a big dehumidifier, that creates heat which then the air conditioner fights against. The only sink, is in the bathroom. So no way to really do anything with the coffee mugs which are provided for use with the Kuerig and microwave. So, if they put in a sink, counter space and an window air conditioner to help the other one out, this place would be a 10! Would I stay again, all things considered? Yes. Clean, spacious, super nice owner wanting to make sure all goes well. Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Great location to get to Boston and Salem! But that’s about it

It was clean and The location was amazing! That was about it. There were a few things I did not care for at this location. It is in their basement, which is fine! The noise policy is from 9pm-7am. They were up and noisy in the mornings before 7. It states a light breakfast like yogurt but there was only 3 yogurts for 5 people for 3 days. So that was disappointing. I also noticed they had their own personal food and freezer in the kitchen space. I was disappointed they had been in the basement while we stayed there. We left and came back and they had moved food around in the fridge. Same fridge as where they had the yogurt for us. So that is how I knew they were in there. I think they need to stay out of the space to respect their guests privacy. I think for these reasons it is overpriced. I also got charged for an extra person, roughly $100 more due to an “extra person” but I don’t understand that because it slept 6 people and we had 5. I asked about it and never got a response back. You are also told you get half the driveway but one of the days they had painters there and we had to park in the street. It wasn’t ideal, especially when you’re told differently and pay for such things. No, I would not stay here again.

Little gem!

I'll be honest, at first I was a little apprehensive about a listing that was part of someone's full time home. However, we had a great experience! We fit our family of 6 comfortably in the space, great distance to both Salem and Boston, quick and friendly correspondence with the property owner. We utilized the solo stove and patio and really enjoyed our cozy stay!

Great Home Base

We were visiting the greater Boston area for a few days in August. It was the height of tourist season, and we didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg just to be cramped in downtown. This suite in Reading makes an excellent home base. Yes, it’s a bit of a ways out, but getting into the city is very easy. You can drive or take an Uber or go by commuter rails. The suite itself is very spacious and offers a refrigerator, washer/dryer, k-cup coffee, a dining area, TV/Xbox, a comfy leather sofa, and a foosball table, to the delight of our 10 year old. The queen-size bed is screened off from the twin bed, so there’s some privacy. The patio looks very charming and pleasant, though we didn’t take advantage of it (we were visiting during a heat-wave, so we mostly stayed indoors). Although the suite is connected to the main house, we had our own separate entrance, so we came and went as we pleased. It was all very convenient. Geoff was a great host, very communicative and thoughtful.
