Overall good stay and location- close to all
We decided to stay here because it was conveniently located to several attractions we wanted to do in Boston. The space accommodated my family of 6 well and there was still plenty of room to spare. Communication with management was great. We had everything we needed. Parking was also easy. Thanks again!

Best Stay Ever! , ,🥇
It was like a home away from home. We were able to choose the location which made it convenient for shopping, gas, food, and the friends and family we were visiting.Our neighbors were helpful and friendly. We were able to sleep in peace and quiet.(except for our granddaughter) Although my family had no problems with climbing the stairs, I would suggest emphasizing the amount of stairs in the description.If available, I will be staying in or near this house whenever I visit Boston.My family and I would like to thank you for your hospitality.It was a great stay!
