Boston's Best Vacation Home

Boston is known for its famous clam chowder, the Boston Marathon, the bar from Cheers, baseball (the Red Sox), Fenway Park and of course, baked beans. But did you know that Boston is famous also for its rich history, and that it was the birthplace of the American Revolution (Boston Tea Party, anyone)?

The Massachusetts capital is also known as the Athens of America for its artistic and intellectual prowess — after all, it does boast of some of the greatest colleges and universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Tufts University and Berklee School of Music.
ThisCozy place 15 Minutes from Downtown Boston / Sea Port, walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy and public transportation. Also, close to Boston's Main artery i93 which will take you anywhere you need to go in Boston.

The home was nice. Well kept on the inside. Not a place for someone with any form of mobility issues as the stairway to the 2nd floor is narrow and steep. We felt there was some misconceptions on how far away the home is located from the airport, grocery store, etc. If you times what it says on the listing by 2, it would be more accurate. With that said, Victor was easy to work with and we weren't in a hurry to be anywhere, so the place was nice.

Great place, nice neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely and clean home. Please make sure you double check the address as there are two identical addresses in Boston and I booked this house for Harvard graduation thinking it was 15 minutes away when it was actually about 50. However, that was my bad—it is listed correctly and public transit is convenient and close by.

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.

Quiet and Comfortable

We spent 10 days at this residence during early May. Temperatures in the area were just right, 55-65 degrees and partly sunny most of the time. Most of our activities were all throughout Boston. We also traveled to Salem and Cape Cod. We did not try the train system but used ride shares, which took about 30-40 minutes to or from central Boston. This home is awesome. It is very clean, nicely decorated, and has a roomy kitchen and comfortable beds. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and back deck to read or eat breakfast. The one large TV in the living room offered plenty of streaming platforms. Be aware there are interior stairs leading to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The grocery store, several restaurants, and a terrific local ice cream store are only a few minutes' walk. Our favorite restaurant was Steel and Rye, which has delicious made-to-order burgers and a unique Caesar salad. Though the home is technically in Mattapan, which we've heard has a questionable reputation, this area is upscale and beautiful, with friendly residents, and is SO quiet! It was a lovely stay for us.

A little outside Boston proper, good value

Overall a nice property. Easy check in and check out process. It's nicely updated. Outlets in bathrooms werent working, brought to attention of owner, so should be taken care of. Nice off street parking. In better weather, couldve been walkablecto grocery store and restaurants. Not a terrible drive to get to major Boston sights.

The neighborhood is quiet with little traffic coming through. Victor the host was responsive and answered any questions we had. Would recommend without hesitation.

Homey Abode

I stayed here with family members. We thought the property was very lovely and in a pleasant neighborhood. Everything we could need was in the house. We especially appreciated the toiletries and the Nespresso provided. Kitchen was fully functional. The property was very clean and the bedrooms and living spaces were nicely decorated. It felt more personable and comfortable than staying in a hotel. It was truly a nice getaway for us who were in the area to explore Boston!

Very Nice Overall

The house was very nice overall; clean & well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Just a couple of issues that we found. The hot water faucet handle on the downstairs bathroom comes off. So it needs to be fixed. Also all the doors creak-need to use WD40 on all the doors. Also, as a safety issue, plastic mats need to be in the bathtub/shower. We were 4 70 year old women and found the tub/shower floor to be slick…..

Cozy House

This was a nice cozy house, not too far from a grocery store and some nice restaurants. It was nice getting out of Boston in the evenings. There are quite a few stairs, both to get into the house and to 2 of the bedrooms, so take note of that. We enjoyed our stay!

All was qell and organized

Overall the location and home were wonderful. The community was nice, welcoming and we felt safe. The home was equipped woth everything you need from toiletries and kitchen needs. Entrance to the home was easy but you must remember to manually lock the door when you enter or push the button to lock it. We had an issue with the downstairs toiket, and the July 4th holiday delayed matters, however it was addressed pretty swiftly by a plumber. Aside from that everything was great and perfect for meeting al our needs. We all would definitely stay here again.
