Great home - plenty of room for a large family. Well furnished/supplied. Had everything we needed. Greg was great to work with. Would definitely stay there again.
The property was exactly how I expected it to be, perfect! Greg was a great host. If I ever need to stay in the area again, I would definitely reach out to him.
Our visit to this beautiful home was fantastic. Out host was so very helpful and kind. Check in was easy. While we were there, we experienced a blizzard and our host snowblowed us out and did so way ahead of our neighbors. The place was perfect for our needs. We would welcome the opportunity to stay there again in the future. And we would highly recommend the home to others. Thanks so very much for sharing your beautiful home
We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect, and the home was beautiful—clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. The host was amazing with great communication and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We really appreciated the early check-in, and the pet-friendly accommodations were a huge bonus. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely love to stay again. Highly recommend!
Our family had a great stay at Greg’s house. It is very comfortable, and the location is convenient to Boston. We loved being able to walk to the store and restaurants in Melrose
Our host Greg, responded immediately to every question so helpfully! Pretty , comfortable home in a nice area. Very clean, kitchen appliances perfect, We wish we could have stayed longer, and would go back. Family of 7 adults.
Beautiful old home! Great neighborhood! The close proximity to Boston allowed us to pack a lot of adventure into 3 days. Close to the train station and the T was easy to navigate. This house was so nice and comfortable to come home to every evening. The kitchen had everything we needed. The deck was a lovely place to hang out, we celebrated our last evening of vacation on the deck with cannolis from Mike’s Pastry.
This comfortable, lovely house was just right for our family visit to Melrose. Nice spaces for gathering. Convenient to walking downtown, restaurants, and to the neighborhood waterfall.
We all enjoyed our stay at this quaint home, it is centrally located to all of our extended family. We were happy with the location, layout, and the attention to detail. The host was available and attentive. We had a great time.
This was a lovely property and was exactly as it was listed. The house had all the amenities that my group of 9 - 6 adults, 3 kids - needed. The house was very clean and well kept. Greg was very responsive to my emails. I wanted to check in 30 minutes early and he really worked with me to make it happen. He also came by and took out the trash for us and asked us if we needed anything. The check-in and check-out process was very straightforward. His directions about what to do on our departure day was very clear and easy.
The house was wonderful. Highly recommend the house. Great location, house is beautiful, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Would stay again if the chance came up.
My family had a wonderful time staying with our family dog for my son’s college graduation in Boston. Greg was a courteous and most gracious host and we thoroughly enjoyed being all together, lounging on the back porch, cooking and eating family meals, and just hanging out! There was nothing lacking and we would definitely stay again!
The property was in an excellent location.
