We had a wonderful stay at this home! Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish, and the check-in process was smooth and stress-free. The house itself had everything we needed — the amenities were thoughtful and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and relaxing experience.The environment was peaceful, which made it perfect for a getaway from the busy city life. At the same time, the location was great, with plenty of nearby restaurants and activities to enjoy.The only minor issue we noticed was with the patio furniture. Because of the tree out back, it does get dusty and could use a quick wipe-down, but we completely understand it can be difficult to keep up with. It was not a big problem at all and didn’t affect our overall experience.Overall, this is a fantastic property with a wonderful host who truly provides stellar communication. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with easy access to dining and entertainment. Thank you again for being such a great host!

Overall, the property was roomy with space to spread out. One bedroom required walking through another which could be awkward but was fine with friends. Patio area was not ready to be used. Lots of debris and no broom to clean off seats. Near to places but got expensive going into town.

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.

Great house and location for a bitter sweet experience.

Six of us came across the country for a funeral in Boston. This was an excellent house. It is in a great location being just a few minutes drive from the T. Family was able to go out to the burbs for the funeral, but still close enough for the younger kids to see Boston during their downtime. There isn’t central air, but being in Boston that can be expected. The third bedroom is non conforming and you have to walk through it to get to the primary bedroom. Also, the online rules are a little different than the rules the home owner provides. But overall, it made the bitter sweet experience coming to Boston more enjoyable.

Communicative host, quiet, work & relax

On the location was beautiful and the host was responsive. Everything was clean and seemed to be maintained to a family host standard. We had three adults and two in elementary age children. I especially enjoyed the office space because I did have to work well on the trip and the ability to close the door and to have the connectable monitor was great!!! I would love to stay here again!

Home away from home.

We were in town for the New Balance Indoor Track Nationals. Our two athletes were able to relax and eat well which gave them a great start for competition. Susan was an amazing host. She provide help when needed, recommendations for pizza and driving directions. The only thing that would be helpful was to know that the king bedroom can only be accessed through another bedroom which was tricky for us staying with non family members.Other than that everything else wes just right.

Great Stay

I have a son who attends Babson College. He turned 21 on 11/19 and he was not coming home for Thanksgiving. So we took the double celebration to him. We did not want to stay in a hotel and be on top of each other for 5 days and four nights, so we thought we would stay at a VRBO Residence. The stay was fantastic, everything we needed was in place, everyone had their own space. I am now a believer. The space was exactly what we needed and wanted. Excellent Stay!
