Great location and very accommodating host. House was clean, beds extremely comfortable. Best of urban location with lovely home feel! On street parking was a dream and easy to get into downtown Boston, 93 or 128. Many great restaurants to enjoy in JP. Would definitely stay again.

The property was clean and close to what we needed. The bed was not great. When we arrived the fridge had not been on because the outlet was bad so we had to move the plug around to find a good outlet and wait for it to cool down before we could put our cooler full food away. They were responsive to texts and we had to go out and flip the breaker for the fridge for the outlet to work.

Great stay over the holidays. We brought our dog and loved the fenced backyard location across the street from a large park. While the property allows pets, it was also properly tidy and clean for our stay. Security was great with two smart-lock doors to get inside the unit. Street parking was easy.The property manager was extremely responsive to any requests leading up to/during the visit, and check-out was super easy. As others have noted, just be aware that a family lives with (friendly) dogs upstairs. Only noteworthy if you are sensitive to noise in the property or have reactive/anxious pets.

Family visit with dog

Overall very nice stay. We appreciated the ease of parking and general comfort of the space. Nicely decorated, and we love Jamaica Plain. However, the coffeemaker was broken, and there was an ant problem in the bathroom (I know this is likely seasonal, since spring is coming). We also could not find an extra blanket for my sister, who slept on the couch.

The unit itself was quite nice - clean, well-maintained, heater worked well, nice bathroom and bedrooms. Our only real complaint was that whoever lives upstairs was exceptionally loud from about 6:30-8:00am and 6:00-10:00pm, to the point we were wondering if renovations were going on. I'm not sure if it's a permanently-occupied unit or another Vrbo, but just be warned that the floors don't muffle any sound.

The apartment is located beside a park and ~10 minute walk to the T line, which is perfect for someone that is looking to park on the street for free, walk to the park, or take public transit into the city. The cleanliness was sub-par and we experienced a good bit of noise was in the apartment (mainly from a pipe beside the washer and dryer), but the location worked great for us.

Great stay on Sigourney

We were in town for Thanksgiving to visit family that lives in the neighborhood. The place was very comfortable, with a pull out couch making it perfect for two adults and two kids. The location right next to Franklin park was very nice. Some of us ran in the Turkey Trot and it was a short walk over. The place is also a nice walk to the town center. There are plenty of playgrounds nearby. T stops are a short walk if you need public transportation. We could hear kids running around upstairs but it wasn’t too bad. Overall, would stay again.

Great neighborhood

This VRBO is in a great location. A short walk to the orange line, with several bodegas on the way home, we really enjoyed. However, the family above us was VERY noisy early in the morning. From yelling at each other to chairs scraping, stomping, and dogs barking. This was only bothersome from about 6:30 am to 8 am when everyone left. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Traveling with a car and dog, this was a convenient spot. The access to the fenced in yard and being right next to an incredible park made it easy with our pup. And street parking is free. On the other hand if planning an extended stay where you’ll actually use the living/dining spaces it should be noted that it’s not all as expected. The oven, dish washer and coffee maker do not work making kitchen use a bit frustrating. The living room furniture was dirty and the tv couldn’t be controlled with the remotes.All in all, convenient for a cheaper stay in the Boston area, but not the most comfortable for a long stay where you’ll spend some time at your bnb.

Guests should be aware that this is a lower-level unit with minimal sound insulation. Noise from the family and dogs in the upstairs home is very noticeable, typically starting around 7 a.m. and continuing in the mornings and afternoon. We reached out to the host on the second night about the dogs barking, and they responded promptly and professionally.Temperature control was a bit challenging. The living room stayed cool due to drafts from the AC units, while the bedrooms became quite warm when the heat was on. As with many city environments, we also noticed some rodents in the backyard during the evenings.Overall, this space can work for a short stay if you’re comfortable with noise from above and a livelier city setting, and plan to spend most of your time out. It was difficult to relax in this space during the day due to the noise.

We booked this property because of the close proximity to Franklin Park as it is right across the street and literally less than a five minute walk. However, the positives end there. The unit had ants and small worms and we found many in the beds! Also, the pictures do not depict the furniture that is in the unit...the couch is filthy and stained and the fold-out mattress in it is disgusting. The extra blankets provided were dirty and we had to wash them. There was no laundry detergent provided however, I had packed Tide pods with so was able to do a few loads. There was only one roll of toilet paper in the unit and when we requested additional rolls it took over 24 hours to receive any. Unfortunately, I cannot give this property a favorable review because of the lack of cleanliness and supplies not being provided.

Nice but there were issues.

Accomodations were clean. The yard was nice as described. The coffee maker pitcher was not tall enough to activate unit and made a mess. If you push up on the pitcher you can make it work. Shower was slow drain. There were at least 3 roaches. There were a few ants. My husband didn't know there were ant bates and touched one. He got slimy ant poison on his hands. We made reservations with 2 dogs and that was not reflected in paperwork. At night the unit was quiet. From early morning until evening it was quite noisy. It sounded like people were wearing cement shoes. I recommend the upstairs people listen to what their daily living sounds like downstairs. The dishwasher leaked while being used. The refrigerator freezer worked. The refrigerator did not keep my 28 ounce Gatorade cold.

Over priced for service and experience

Photos did not accurately describe cleanliness and state of the furniture and appliances. The refrigerator did not work. According to reviews left in previous week's it has been broken for at least a few weeks. We were given no heads up about the issue and no follow through with help when we reported it. The place was decently clean except for the couch which is not the couch advertised and covered in stains and animal hair. The location was good. The family upstairs was friendly when we ran into each other. The property manager was responsive but not very helpful at addressing issues. Transparency would have been appreciated regarding the refrigerator so we could have planned ahead. We had to throw out a lot of food. We were planning on cooking in the unit but we're forced to mostly eat out do to lack of refrigeratoon. There were not enough towels for each person. The place has great potential, a few things need to be tweaked and customer service should be improved for a 5* rating

False advertising at its finest!

Filled with ants and centipedes throughout the apartment. Jay (manager) said he’d have someone spray, they didn’t. He said he’d bring us hand soap (because ad said there was soap), he didn’t. Ants in the shower, kitchen, on the beds. Centipedes in the kitchen and bathroom. The pull-put couch was stained and grimy. The mattress was as old as the building. The gym was completely trashed with empty boxes and trash everywhere. Someone’s desk with files and paperwork all over it. Pots and pans and toaster rusted and blackened. The people who live upstairs start shouting and screaming at 6am, stomp and drag furniture all day until 10 pm. I was embarrassed I booked this for my family. Completely grossed out and disappointed that I couldn’t find a different place for my little kiddos to sleep on such short notice. Manager was irritated that I was complaining but didn’t help with anything. Praying for a partial refund. This place was a huge mistake.

Disappointing, noisy & moldy!

While this place is close to the subway and communication with the host was smooth, we were very disappointed overall. This listing is inaccurate as there was not a hot tub as stated, also not sure how it can be newly renovated when we were hit with a strong mold smell the minute we walked in, which they must be aware of as a bottle of air freshener was sitting in the living room. The kitchen sink had a profound sewage smell and there was a large amount of mold in the washing machine. On top of that, the bedroom lamps were all broken and being held together with packaging tape. The twin bed broke when I sat on it which the host did promptly fix, but it would have been nice if they would have communicated when they were coming to the unit instead of us having to look to see if the bed was fixed. The bathroom also had ants and a bunch of peeling paint. If this isn’t enough to deter you, then the loud family who lives upstairs should be. The yelling and barking dogs started at 0630 each day and was pretty constant until about 10pm. It sounded like they were constantly moving furniture around and rollerblading up there. Needless to say we would not stay here again and do not recommend it. The property has potential if there was more consistent maintenance and deep cleaning as it’s functional and cute. However definitely not worth the price we paid as is. Save yourself the money and frustration and find yourself somewhere else to stay!

If you need a place that let's you bring your dog this is it. Great location near parks with easy access to anything you want to do in Boston. However be ready for lots of noise from the upstairs. They have big dogs and little kids so they are a typical energetic young family, but it makes for not a quiet retreat. Also the fridge didn't work, after we ruined all of our food, the manager told us the next day we had to flip a breaker. There isn't a sleeper sofa or futon, just a twin bed in the 2nd bedroom. The home is well designed!

The two (inner and outer) door locks were secure and easy to operate. The sheets and towels were clean. Both beds were comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of short stay condiment and staples and amenities.Room/apartment temps were fine. Hot water in bathroom was plenteous.There is a roomy shower with two nozzles available, one fixed, one mobile on a flexible hose. The renter quickly texted/updated the wifi name and password after my evening inquiry. Vrbo IT had not provided a promised 6 digit texted authenticator code which was necessary for opening an email message from the renter earlier in the morning of check in day, which probably had already included the wifi update. Thank you.
