I have been booking with VRBO for several years. For a week of doing everything Boston, you will not find a better place. Clean, close to everything, but far enough away, and a host, Steve, who was always available and so helpful when needed. If I return to Boston, this is my place.

This is probably the best-stocked kitchen we've experienced in a short-term rental: the inventory of pots and pans and appliances (even a slow cooker) was excellent, and we're partial to gas stoves. It's quite a lot of room, and everything is nicely updated. Be aware that the stairs are quite steep; my mother had trouble climbing them, but the living room couch was extremely comfy and she slept very well down there.

This is a charming home in a quiet location, and very true to the descriptions in the listing. We were a family of 8, and this was an excellent home base for to attend Harvard Law school graduation ceremonies for our daughter, a short drive to Boston and Cambridge, but located perfectly to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The home has multiple bedrooms with many comfortable beds allowing for flexible sleeping options for either a small or large group. The house was very clean, everything in good working order, and check-in and check-out were about as easy as you can find in a vacation rental. Steven was a wonderful host and very responsive during the process which made this a very easy and pleasant stay. We are long time VRBO renters and this was lovely short stay at a nice home with a great host!
