The house was nice and cozy. My only complaint would be there was some bugs and spiders (maybe spray out the house before/after bookings).My suggestion would be put another television in the house... maybe upstairs. I would stay again, I would bring some raid though because I do not like critters.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The host was great. Very quick to respond to messages. This home is old but charming. We did see some gnarly centipedes so an exterminator is needed or do as we did and relocate them outside. The downstairs bathroom looks updated but no lip on shower stall makes water go all over the bathroom floor so be careful you don’t slip and fall. Laundry is in the basement which has very steep stairs. The home is easy to find and seems to be in a decent area. Grocery store is close by as well as the train station. All in all we loved our trip to Boston and can’t wait to visit again.

Cute house close to plenty of dining

This house is in a great location and within walking distance of a grocery store and a lot of dining options. The area is cute and the house is well maintained with plenty of room for 6 people. Downtown Boston is about 30 minutes away (depending on traffic) which was quite convenient. Would stay here again.
