The most appointed place we’ve ever stayed. Maxine was so generous. Everything you’d need to cook, bath and sleep was available. All appliances were top notch. Only issue, due to our age was the steep stairs. Definitely recommend if you stay in the Boston area. A car is necessary though.

Beautiful house and location! We enjoyed our stay and I will definitely come back here if I visit Boston again. The house was set up to afford privacy to all of us. (6 people). Unfortunately it was too chilly this week to enjoy the pool. Everything was immaculate and stocked with the basic spices snd even fresh fruits when we arrived! The host kept me informed when the pool maintenance person was to arrive. Excellent communication with our host. Absolutely 5 stars and above! Thank you!

Graduation trip
This is a wonderful rental. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Neighborhood is quiet and able to go for walks in neighborhood. It was the most well stocked home I have ever rented. The hosts provided coffee, milk, orange juice, eggs, bagels and butter which was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. The check-in process was simple. The hosts responded very quickly to any question or concern.

Spacious and well-equipped!
We stayed for Easter weekend, it was great to be so close to family in a cozy home with kitchen gear that allowed us to help prepare the holiday dinner, a basket of snacks for the college kids, and a park to explore nearby. Communication was smooth throughout. Thank you!
