The house was nice and cozy. My only complaint would be there was some bugs and spiders (maybe spray out the house before/after bookings).My suggestion would be put another television in the house... maybe upstairs. I would stay again, I would bring some raid though because I do not like critters.

Cute house close to plenty of dining

This house is in a great location and within walking distance of a grocery store and a lot of dining options. The area is cute and the house is well maintained with plenty of room for 6 people. Downtown Boston is about 30 minutes away (depending on traffic) which was quite convenient. Would stay here again.
