Great stay

Our family of 4adults and two children had a great stay at Susan’s house. It was super clean and very comfortable for our family. The location is great for easy access into Boston and Centre Street only a mile away, had nice restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops. We loved the PAC Man game too would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

We loved the quiet neighborhood and fully equipped kitchen. With a new Trader Joe’s not far away, it was super convenient to get the refrigerator stocked and ready for meal preparation. I liked the outdoor grill and, as a family, we utilized and really enjoyed the breakfast area. The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable. Television and WiFi were excellent. This was a great place for a family get together. West Roxbury is a very nice upper middle class neighborhood. We were pleasantly surprised over and over again. Thanks to Susan, our pleasant and very responsive host.

Nice place. Had a nice size kitchen and 2 dinning areas. Each room had a TV and the beds were super comfortable with plenty of pillows. It was chilly in Boston so we had to use the heat and the house heated up quickly. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to many places to eat (and within walking distance). The host was readily available and checked up on us ensuring all our needs were met - this was a nice added touch.

Property clean and well stocked. Plenty of hot water for the showers. Good location-easy to get into Boston. Downtown West Roxbury close by and good supermarket with lots of good selections. Parking area was easy to access. Would stay again. One suggestion is a grab bar for the jetted tub as it has high sides. Would make it more secure for stepping out and over.
