If you’re looking for a house for a large family or group, this house is perfect. All was clean and comfortable. The beds were wonderful, and the house is well stocked with necessities. There is a lovely yard space, but it is a quiet neighborhood, so if you’re looking for a place to rage/party, this might not be your best bet. The neighborhood is really nice and it felt very safe. The location is GREAT!. It is close to the Arboretum, and easy to get to Fenway. The owner was quick to respond and communicative. Great house for a Boston vacation.

Perfect location

This house was perfect for the needs of a three generation family that came to Boston to visit family. The location was ideal and the neighborhood was peaceful, beautiful and safe. The kitchen had the basic amenities necessary for morning coffee, and meals and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. Jeff was always available to answer any questions and check in on our stay. This house worked well for our family!

FAMILY FRIENDLY

In Boston to see grandson graduate Harvard. Didn't spend much time at the VRBO rental, but when we did, space was perfect and mostly clean. Refinished floors were beautiful. Mattresses seemed new and were very comfortable. Neighborhood is quiet. Didn't use heat and slept with windows open. Tried AC once to cool upstairs, which overcooled basement. Host Jeff Mei handled our concerns immediately.

Boston family vaca

The communication with the owner was exceptional. The home was clean and well stocked with soaps, detergents and paper products. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and it is conveniently located to downtown Boston. The furnishings are in need of replacing and the bedrooms downstairs need a place to store your clothing so you don’t live out of your suitcase. The price for the rental was very affordable for a large group.
