We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and close to VFW Parkway for traveling and Centre St. for restaurants, shops and grocery stores. It was well stocked with coffee, snacks, linens, towels etc. We definitely recommend this as a place to stay in Boston.
This is a perfectly renovated space. It is an easy drive to Boston and the surrounding areas. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient. You may be able to see a bunny in the backyard.
My family and I was very pleased with this home. It is newly renovated and beautiful. The area is quiet, safe, and easy access to shopping centers. Yes, there is parking and we had no issues with that. We parked right in front of the home. The host Michelle was very responsive. I would rent this house every time I visit Boston. I recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a beautiful, safe, and peaceful home and area.
