Good rental

Loved the brand new kitchen and bathrooms in this older home! There were lots of sleeping options with a suite like feel to the loft ( which as a door for privacy using a separate staircase). My grandsons loved using the “secret” second staircase to the kitchen. Outside of some parking issues, I enjoyed this rental. Neighborhood is old but quiet. Host is very responsive!

Perfect for our large family

This was ideal for our short stay in Boston. There was a variety of sleeping arrangements that we were able to use to accommodate our large group. The house was simply and tastefully decorated, and the kitchen was well stocked. Great location for visiting Harvard and Boston.
