Lovely Stay in Melrose Apartment

We were so pleased with our stay! The apartment was spacious and clean in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The owners were super friendly and helpful. Off street parking for our vehicle was a plus! The location was convenient to Boston as well as areas north. We appreciated the opportunity to stay and would return.

The property was an ideal location for us to walk to town and to the family member’s house. The property was spacious and provided a quiet rest. The one thing I found lacking was a wash cloth. There was helpful information but not about the thermostat.

Beautiful wood floors. Slept very well, quiet. Parking right at unit, which my husband really appreciated. Owners responsive and kind. Would definitely stay again.

The property is well kept and private. The walkability to the great local restaurants and groceries is a 9. Parking is off-street behind the main house, at the foot of the stairs to the private apartment, easily accessible and safe. Travel to Boston is available by commuter rail (purple line) Melrose Highlands 1 mile away. There are many walking, biking, hiking, and boating, options nearby. The owners are accessible if needed.

Beautiful house and property

You enter through the bedroom and everything perfect. We didn’t get wifi from her but the phones did pick up wifi, but it was due to lack of communication, we were busy running to different restaurants and sight seeing Boston and Salem. 2 small inconveniences, limited towels and no wash cloths, (I always bring a set with me.)No pots or pans or plates or cups. There is a coffee maker. The lady we talked to was very nice and was helpful. The place was clean and well decorated. The chairs were comfortable. So don’t forget a hand towel and cups paper plates. Pot if you’re going to cook and ask the owner to turn on wifi right away. I would say on our trip it was a 10/10. I would stay there again.

Clean, cozy, quiet, comfortable and a superior location will best describe this VRBO. The property, which offers off-street parking, is only a short walk to a vibrant downtown with many restaurants and shops. For personal needs, CVS and Walgreens are a five-minute walk. The newly renovated town library is within walking distance, where you can pick up discount coupons to Boston and local museums and places of interest. Public transportation is easily accessible and convenient. Take the Orange line to Boston -- a truly walkable city and enjoy the history, the eclectic foods, and the vibrant waterfront, or take the commuter rail to picturesque Gloucester or Rockport for the freshest seafood around. Major highways are also nearby. Our host, Dechenla, was friendly, accessible and accommodating. My wife, daughter, and I had a very pleasant stay here and will return to this VRBO during a future trip to Melrose. Thanks for the hospitality, Dechenla!
