Lots of space, good value
Although the house, rental process and neighborhood has some issues, we overall enjoyed the space and our stay there. We really appreciated all the space (on the second and third floor of the house - the first floor is another unit) that the home offers. We also liked that it comes with off-street parking, that the kitchen is well equipped and that there was a stash of cereals and snacks. And we love that it's dog friendly, even though we didn't bring our dogs. On the downside, the list uses a service called Vacasa in addition to Vrbo. I guess that's in order to reduce the work for the owner. But it meant we got double emails for the same subjects, and when we did reach out to Vacasa (just once), we didn't hear back for two days, which was after when we needed the answer, and they didn't accommodate our request anyway. Big pain. Regarding the house, there are some funky room configuration things. Most of them have their own digital locks, TVs and fridges, and it feels a bit like a rooming house. There are also a number of rough edges, so to speak, where you can tell a lot of the work was done DIY (do it yourself). And one of the showers wouldn't get hot and the toilets didn't flush well. Lastly, the neighborhood is so-so. It seems reasonably safe, but there are some properties nearby that are pretty rough. Again, overall we were happy with our stay and would consider staying there again.

Perfect location and clean accommodations. We were a bit disappointed bc the master shower/jacuzzi did not get hot water. I contacted the host who responded quickly. A plumber was supposed to come out to check the plumbing but never showed. There were 2 other showers to use but just a bit disappointed

Our owner, Christopher, host was a delight. We learned that this really old property was owned by the Irish chef of police of Boston. A lot of stairs to climb. Nice kitchen/family room. It’s an old house that needs some minor fixing up and a lot of attention to small details be an overall five star property. The location is only 5 to 6 miles from downtown Boston and the airport but during rush hour the commute is a real challenge. Plenty outlets for our electronics. More than most hotels.

Beautiful Stay in Boston!!
Our family had an amazing stay in Boston. The host was excellent and made sure all our needs were met. The apartment was as advertised. It was very clean and was perfect for a family vacation. There were snacks in the room as well as drinks. We would recommend this place and our host.

DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY
This is a multi unit property which we knew BUT there is no way to lock the door that connects the two properties. The man staying in the connecting property could get into ours and we have kids. NOT safe at all and the listing did not say connecting properties. STAY AWAY
