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!
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.
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.
4 double beds and 1 king bed all in seperate bedroom's
Nice outside rear terrace and front por h area.
The only thing to be aware of, is that, there is only one shop tjat sells beet
This home is absolutely beautiful (just as pictured) and comfortable. It was not much of a drive to Salem or Boston, so well located! There was plenty of things near by for needs and the commuter trains were close too! We loved our stay and would book it again anytime! Thanks for the great time and letting us use your home Greg!
We loved this home and will be coming back. It was clean in a great neighborhood. There were 7 women and we had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable. We all loved the deck area. Can’t wait to visit again!
The house is very large and comfortable. It was hot out so the house was nice and kool. We will definitely book this house again when we go up to see our daughter and her family whom live in Melrose.
The house is located on a quite street near a quaint Downtown Area The house has area for two cars The house was immaculate and very comfortable. The owner Gregg was very welcoming and worked hard to make sure everything was Ok I want to thank him again for letting my family stay in such a beautiful home If you need a place do not hesitate to take this house
Greg's house was the perfect place for our two families. We had enough space to spread out and also hang out together. The house was clean, cozy, located in a great neighborhood, had everything we needed, and was even nicely decorated for the holidays! It was very easy to communicate with Greg, and he even came to make sure the snow was shoveled in front of the house. Thank you for providing a place for us to spend time with our friends.
Best EVER! Greg’s house was everything we could have asked for!! Love the town of Melrose and walkability!! Greg was great to work with and checked to make sure we had what we needed!! Would highly recommend if to anyone cknjnv to the Boston area!!!!
We traveled to the area for the Boston Marathon. This home and location were the perfect place for us to be able to relax, cook our own food, and prep for the weekend without the hustle/bustle of the city. The close proximity to public transportation was great and it was an affordable Uber ride into Boston as well. The walkability of the town - to restaurants, churches, groceries, etc. - was excellent. The neighborhood was quiet and the home was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Greg was a wonderful and responsive host. Would definitely stay there again!
We stayed three nights while visiting Boston for a portion of our family vacation. Greg is super communicative and easy to reach if needed. The property was very clean and had everything we need. We are a fairly picky group as some of us own rental properties and we have a chef in our group. While we didn’t do any cooking, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the walkability of the neighborhood and walked to dinner and the waterfall nearby. Super comfy beds and elevated soaps/shampoos are a nice touch!
Great house and location in Melrose, appropriate for family group. Property is as described and appliances that we used worked fine (with exception of garbage disposal); a new dishwasher was delivered to the property on our last morning there so it seems like next group will have a new one!
Host is very involved and clearly cares about property; he texted with both information and instructions about the house and came to mow lawn, weed/water garden while we were there.
Was everything we hoped for and more. The house was spotless and the owner even left shampoo and soap on the porch for us to use. We forgot something at the house and the owner sent it right back to us. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults. Great bedrooms and the dining room table was great at night to sit around. We never even went to the basement that had couches and a TV. Will definitely stay again when we go to Boston. Highly recommend!!!!!!
We recently spent 3 nights at this beautiful home in Melrose. We had six adults and one child in our party as well as our two dogs. The home was spacious , warm and very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out. The location is perfect. It’s easy to get into Boston via the train. The station is just a few minutes from the house. It’s also a very short drive to get on I-93 and I-95. There are several great restaurants within walking distance. Greg, the host, was outstanding. He was very communicative and accommodating . We will definitely be booking this house again. I highly recommend it!!
The house is a 4 BR, one of which is a lovely 3rd floor loft with one full bathroom on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms and one full bath off the kitchen on main floor. Spacious, well appointed kitchen. Had a small problem with the oven tripping the breaker which Greg promptly arrived and resolved. Great location just 2 miles from my daughter's house and right beside main street. The only reason I gave a 4 star was a dirty pan left in the oven and no towels or body wash in the bathrooms. Plenty of towels in laundry room tho. Will definitely stay here again!
Our group of 8 were visiting for a wedding. The home was spacious and we did not feel we were not on top of each other when we were at the house. We were close to the train to get to Boston. The deck was a great place to sit and catch up. Communication with the owner was awesome. He was very responsive and helpful. The owner is willing to work with guest with checking in and out! The drive way is tight, however we were able to fit 3 vehicles. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended Turners Seafood, get the stuff shrimp!!
The home was clean. The house is well stocked for cooking( even though we did not cook). The beds were comfy for our stay. The 3rd floor bedroom is a climb but we made the youngs one take that one!! The upstairs shower water does not get that hot, it is luke warm. The downstairs shower is super hot! Both had great water pressure.
The living room couch is big enough for all of to sit comfortably to watch some football!
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
