We loved our stay at Mike’s house. Thank you so much! It’s a comfortable property that’s off the street which is nice. Almost everything is upgraded. The rooms are very comfortable and there’s no issue being sleeping well. We had five and everyone slept great. The top floor is gorgeous and Mike is fast and responsive as a host. And it’s convenient to so many good restaurants. Will stay there again.

Perfect spot for a family vacation with dogs!

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful home for our trip to Boston! We really appreciated the extra thought the hosts put into making guests feel at home. We loved having our dogs with us and they loved running around freely in the yard! If we are back in the area we will definitely be staying here! Also, you must check out Donut Villa Diner for amazing food and service! They were really accommodating with food allergies too!
