There is great outdoor space ample parking and the location was excellent to walk to nearby restaurants and shops.

As advertized

The place was in a perfect location. Short walk down the hill to coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and shops. Plenty of off street parking. Plenty of room in the house and fully stocked with what is needed. Some of the decor is a bit dated but it does give the place a homey feel. Would happily stay here again.

Great family spot in Brighton!

My family stayed here when we came to cheer on my brother during the Boston Marathon. The house is well appointed with amenities and is very convenient to several bus lines so public transit was easy. Matt was easy to communicate with, check-in was a breeze, the area was safe and quiet. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect location.

The house is well stocked with essential items- is warm and inviting. The location is great- nice restaurants, grocery, pharmacy in walking distance. Only caution is that there are a lot of stairs with narrow treads - our older family members had a hard time navigating.

Fantastic for the Fit Traveler

We loved staying together in a wonderful home with space for everyone! You must be fit as there are stairs to everything - to get in, to the bedrooms and back down for the bathroom as there is no bathroom for the 3 bedrooms on the top floor. The location is ideal! Walking distance to plenty of restaurants. The location to BC was what we loved - easy route to get there.

Brighton Gem

Appreciate the ambiance, vibe and beauty this 160 year old home has. Nice new patio made available at back of property was wonderful. Location was great, easy rides to the Science Museum to hook up with the "Duck Tour and to Fenway Park. Many restaurants within walking distance or a short ride.

Amazing historic house in a great location

I loved the house and everything about it. The house is very roomy and accommodates. So many was great for my big extended family. The large table and the beautiful China settings were great for our little dinner party. The house has a lot of character in the neighborhood is very walkable and pleasant. Easy walk to a number of restaurants and cafes and little stores. Easy drive to places like the museums and the airport. The stairs can be a little challenging for older folks and neewly walking kids. The communication with hosts was great and while there were almost no problems but there was was resolved immediately.

Awesome location, great house

There were 6 in our party and we had plenty of room for sleeping and dining. We had trouble with the front door but were able to get in and out. We also had trouble with the TV in the living room, could not get the cable or streaming channels to come on, but we were able to watch a DVD. The porch TV worked fine. We were not there much so it all worked out. I know the property manager would have helped if we asked because he and the owner were very responsive and wanted to ensure our needs were met.

Thanksgiving with adult children

The size of the house worked well for a family who wanted space to watch football while others wanted a space for hanging out. The two living spaces were a plus. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and ate at the long dining room table with the china in the house. The house is old-as stated and has some interesting quirks one would expect in a house that old. We walked to Boston College for the football game which was easy and the closeness of Starbucks, CVS and grocery stores a plus Owner should put some of the basics in the house like a few coffee pods and a Keurig for guests the first morning. Also, we had to "heat up" the house when we entered which would have been nice if house was minimally heated when we arrived. It heated up nicely after arriving. Overall a great location and big house for a family of 5
