Very big place close to the train station for easy access into the city. We were a family of 6 and had plenty of space. There is a lot of street and train noise but we brought sound machines and slept very well. Host was super helpful and responsive with questions. Perfect place to explore Boston from and relax at after a fun day in the city!

We had a great stay in Boston for our family vacation! The apartment was very clean and plenty big enough for my family of four. The kitchen was well equipped to make some meals and there were plenty of seating options. There was a specific spot in the driveway for us to park that was plenty big enough for my Chevy Traverse. The host was very responsive and checked in on us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed. We had an issue with the shower but they were able to get it looked at and fixed within a few hours.

I would say that the check in process was excellent and informative- I would agree with the reviews about the train noise but we used a white noise app and that pretty much fixed the problem. The previous reviews mentioned that the host left a gift basket with snacks but we didn’t receive one so I would plan to bring your own as well as shampoo or conditioner since there was none provided. The house had blinds but just a heads up- it gets bright very early in the morning and the blinds do not keep the sun out. The check out process was super easy which was a plus.

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was exactly as advertised. It’s very clean and in a cute borough with some great restaurants and shops and any other convenience you might need. The apartment has a large kitchen that’s great for cooking your own meals if you wish to do so. Check in was completely seamless even though we were arriving late at night.

Wonderful location

Had a 2 night stay in Boston, this location was perfect. Lots of good restaurants close and a grocery store was a few blocks either way. We were able to take the bus/train to downtown and the train back (stop is less than 10 minutes walk).The property was great for our family, we were able to cook breakfast one of the mornings. There was some confusion on the initial check-in but the host was there to save the day!

The host was amazing! She checked on us multiple times. The place was very clean! We had one issue and the host resolved it within an hour. The pictures on the VRBO site do need to be updated. The place is very spacious!There were four adults staying here. The amenities were perfect. The only issue we had, that cannot be controlled by the host, was the outside noise is very loud. It is on a busy street. The bus stops in front of the property and the train runs behind it. Also, when the host says read the parking signs….make sure you do it! We received parking ticket. If you are hungry and want some amazing food near by, eat at Sophias Grotto! The food is amazing!!!!! It was hard to find-but so worth it!!!
