Great place/not so great parking!
The apartment was perfect, clean, well kept. It was a great place to stay, short walk to the T. The parking is not good. If you drive be prepared to park far away or be blocked in by another car.

Boston Stay
Great place. Would definitely stay there again. Only downside is not a lot of variety and walking distance for restaurants. However, we were mostly in downtown Boston so it didn’t affect our trip at all. Communication was awesome with the hosts.

Nice place
We enjoyed our stay, had a blast in Boston! The apartment was so cute and very clean. The only downside was the upstairs neighbors were loud late at night and the neighborhood was a little sketch but not so much we wouldn’t stay there again. There was everything we needed, great beds and plenty of room for all six of us adults. We enjoyed our stay.

Clean comfortable and newly renovated. The neighborhood is being re-gentrified and still has some rough areas but we were able to walk to a fantastic Italian restaurant and St Marks church next door. Otherwise easy to Uber to all the sights of Boston.

We traveled to Boston on a college visit road trip. Parking was safe and free, either on the street or in the driveway behind the house. The unit was immaculate, everything updated with brand new appliances and quality beds and furniture. <10 minute walk to Shawmut train station, easy to explore ALL of Boston quickly. Neighborhood felt safe, nice neighbors Will stay here again on our next trip to Boston. Location was per

Weekend visit
There is no second bed as listed in the room with two beds. The street the house is on is crazy narrow due to parking on both sides of the road, uber/lyft/delivery drivers had a very difficult time getting in and out. And if you miss the turn into the driveway the first time, be prepared for a challenging turn around. The apartment is clean and comfortable. My kids loved the snacks that were left, though some were really stale. uber/lyft was willing to pick up and drop off to Fenway and Commons.

Clean Space, but Not a Great Fit for Our Family
We stayed here with our family, including 3 young kids, for a week long trip to the Boston area. We found the space to be clean, updated, and as pictured online. This rental is on the fist floor, and the upstairs neighbors were loud at night which was disruptive. We had a small leak issue from the upstairs unit as well, that was rectified quickly by the property owner, who was very responsive and helpful. But overall, it was not an ideal fit for our family. We were hoping for more of a neighborhood feel, where we would be able to walk to local coffee shops, restaurants, and parks, and this didn't fit the bill.

Boston & Salem Tour
We came so we could access Boston and the drive there wasn't bad. The place was very nice and had everything we needed. We pulled the small sofa from the master bedroom into the living room so we could sit more comfortably. The place was very clean and everything was in working order. Our host replied immediately to any inquiries. Highly recommend this place.

Great for group getaway
We were a group of 6 adult girlfriends and this property worked perfectly for us. The location was great (about a 5 minute walk to the Shawmut T stop), everything was clean and maintained, and there were several personal touches that were so nice (welcome snacks, makeup remover cloths and wipes, selection of tea and coffee, etc.). Helen & Tom were so responsive and helpful as we were planning.

Dorchester
Beautiful apartment and great hosts! Very close to the T line at Shawmut. Kind of far from downtown Boston. The subway took 45-60 mins to get into town. The neighborhood was friendly and felt safe. My kids and I walked to restaurants, the park, and the convenience store (even at dusk it felt safe). The upstairs apartment residents were pretty loud, even through the night, but I find hotels to be loud through the night as well. The soaps, shampoos, and TP were quality products! The kitchen was stocked with dishes, but not pantry items. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
