This is a very cute place. It was clean and everyone was very comfortable. Included all the appliances you'd need to feel at home. Host had good communication, and even light switches and drawers/cabinets are labeled. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the location was good. We recommend this place!

The house was comfortable, the bathrooms very clean, and the kitchen well appointed for cooking. What I didn't like were the polyester sheets on the beds (I prefer real cotton). And the carpet in the living area was really dirty. Needs a good wash or a replacement. My grandchildren visited me and the stairs were a risk for the toddler.

Comfortable home in a convenient location

We stayed here with family over Thanksgiving and loved it. Convenient to the airport and Boston, as well as the suburbs where we visited with family. The home is great - nicely furnished, great bathrooms, comfortable beds, nice kitchen, and cozy living area with a gas fireplace.

Wonderful family stay

This was a great option for our 3 generation family of 8 to get together for a long weekend and the Boston Marathon. There was plenty of space and the house was an easy drive to many Boston suburbs that we were visiting. The owner quickly responded to all my questions and provided all the amenities we needed for a nice stay.

we were in town for a family wedding and wanted a place for the extended family to be able to gather throughout the wedding weekend. The house was a perfect spot for exactly that - time together in a relaxed environment where we could relax and spend time together.

wedding weekend

My son got married in Arlington, MA over the weekend. The VRBO was a great location and was big enough to accommodate my family so that we all didn't have to get separate hotel rooms. It worked out perfectly.

Lovely house with amenities

We had a wonderful relaxing time at this Waterford house. The sunny, open living room, kitchen and dining room are as pictured. We fully used the convenient half bathrooms in the basement and walk in level and full bathrooms upstairs. The separate laundry and sink area from the shower and toilet in the hall bathroom was also helpful. The house was clean and comfortable. And the host was very accessible and flexible. The location felt safe.

Wedding

Enjoyed our stay very much. House was great. May think about offering more than one key. We had two families coming in and out. Also, instructions for the nest thermometer weren’t very clear regarding how to maintain the selected temperature.

Modern getaway

The house was very modern and clean in a nice quiet community. It was great to have an outdoor space to relax, and off street parking. There is a bakery and convenience store within walking distance. Public transportation is not extremely close by, but it was an easy drive to Harvard Square area, where we were able to park and use the metro. The temperature control was a little difficult to figure out at first, but she did send a video of how to operate it. Overall, this was a great option for a large group to stay in Boston.
