We were in town for Head of The Charles and on the morning of the race it was an easy 20 minute drive in. The neighborhood was super quiet and plenty of options nearby for dining out and supermarkets. My teenage boys especially loved the Ping Pong/air hockey table.

We were a family of 7 who were lucky enough to find this cozy little gem! We were in town for the weekend and the location was ideal and conveniently located to everything. House was clean and had all the amenities you would need! Communication with the owner was immediate when we had questions! We will be back! :)

Stay for graduation week

We were visiting Boston for graduation and picked this place to stay. We had a really good experience and communication with the Cecile was seamless. She was very quick in her response for anything we needed during the stay. The location is a short drive from Cambridge area but the neighborhood is very nice and quiet. The unit is very clean and functional. We had a wonderful stay and recommend this place. We really appreciate a very prompt response from the property manager for anything we needed in the unit and during our stay.

Very Nice Space!

I only had the issue about my code not working to enter and i couldnt get a hold of anyone in the moment and it was raining, haha. But they responded and let me in! House is very nice!! The only issue is my kids are older, majority of cabinets were childlock and i have NO IDEA how to unlock. So we couldn’t access cabinets and wasnt able to find a broom to clean up. I like to keep clean. But. Othererwisd, it was super nice inside, super responsive, and close to 8min drive to a wegmans! Not bad! :) i’d definitely visit again.
