I was getting together with a group of friends for a night. The instructions to get in the apartment were easy to follow and seamless. The apartment was well furnished and very clean. The host was easy to communicate with and made the stay super easy. I would recommend for families or a group of friends getting together.

Good for families w kids
This was a very nice property. Plenty of beds. Some rooms with nice bunk beds as well. We had a group of 7; plenty of room for us, granny and the 4 kids. Kitchen was nice and well equipped. It is an Upstairs apartment with Lots of stairs that were pretty narrow so be prepared for that. TVs in each room and the Wifi worked well. It snowed during our trip and it was very cold. The stairs at the back of the house were extremely slippery due to the snow and ice. It would have been nice to have sand or salt available to treat the stairs. The gentleman living in the lower apartment was helpful and scraped the stairs the best he could for us. Also the house was very drafty downstairs but the heat was strong enough to overcome it so it was comfortable, the only issue was then upstairs would become uncomfortably hot, so you had to be mindful of anyone upstairs to make sure they didn't get too hot. Washer and dryer were great and plenty of towels were available.Good location, grocery store right up the street less than a mile. Couple of restaurants nearby and about a 10 or so min ride to Downtown Boston. Owners were very responsive and pleasant and helpful. Would recommend and would stay here again.

Great Place!
Although we only stayed one night, my friends and I were super happy with this booking. The location was in a great spot not far from Boston or Logan Airport, which made our early morning flight a breeze. We loved how cozy the rooms were as well as the TV's in each room. We got to enjoy some good Monday Night Football to round out our long vacation back East. Would love to return and stay longer next time! Communication with the host was also seamless and Jenny responded quickly and clearly and was very professional and friendly. Check in was super simple as well as check out. Thanks for a great stay!

Boston with kids
The previous reviews are fairly accurate.
Cons: The house is definitely on a busy road and there is some road noise. It's also a little tricky getting in and out of the parking lot and there isn't anything worthwhile within walking distance.
Pros: The house is nicely maintained. The host is very prompt with communication. There is a train station at Savin Hill (8 minute car ride away) that will take you straight into downtown.

Clean and comfortable
Everything about this property is lovely: check in, cleanliness and comfortable… everything except the noise at night. I am aware that the description states there will be some urban noise but I did not think that meant motorcycles drag racing all night long. It was so loud - no one slept. If it weren’t for that I would recommend.

The street was noisy but that’s in the description. If you have elderly or little kids they have stairs that are windy and narrow so I wouldn’t recommend for that but otherwise it was great and we had fun. Jenny always messaged back quickly.

UMASS Grad Stay
We stayed at the house for UMASS graduation. It comfortably fit the family and the place was in good shape. Sparse on the decorations but clean. Locations to UMASS is great but you are on a main road with loud traffic if you're not used to it. House came stocked with amenities and beds were all neat, clean and made when we got there. No complaints and would recommend this home.

Wonderful apartment, minutes from Boston
We rented this unit to have a small vacation with my parents. The apartment was incredibly clean, and the check-in process was simple. The location was really convenient - walking distance to the T, or a $30 Uber into the city. Would stay here again.
We stayed at this property for the Boston volleyball festival a the Boston Convention Center!
Fabulous property! Clean, spacious and convenient! Owner was very quick to answer and questions!
10 minute (easy) drive to convention center on secondary roads to avoid traffic!
Would definitely book this property to explore more of Boston!
Thought the proximity to Boston was satisfactory. Agent could have been mor communicative.

Two family vacation stay
Two families each with one child (6 total). Rented all four bedrooms for 1-week stay. Apartment was excellent! Jenny was responsive and the apartment was spotless. All of the furniture was in excellent condition and the kitchen was stocked with all necessary items and appliances. There was a slight paint odor as it appears the apartment was recently renovated but we left the windows opened the first day and the smell dissipated.
The location was great if you have a vehicle. We drove to the Savin Hill subway station (Red Line) every morning, roughly 10 minute drive. There really isn’t a walkable subway station and the house is on a busy street so crossing with kids would’ve been too difficult. Overall the location provides easy access to downtown via subway and quick entry/exit via I-93 or I-90.
As a frequent traveler I can say this is one of the best rentals I have seen. Better than advertised and will definitely stay again!

Clean and comfortable
We had two family's on our visit. We could have booked hotel rooms for about the same but we wanted to be all together. We had a lot of fun and used Uber for our trips back and forth to the Waterfront-North End.
The apartment was freshly renovated and it seemed like almost everything was brand new. The mattress were new and comfortable. The bedding new and clean. The towels were new. We had no problem with the hot water. Who ever did the renovation did a very nice job. The floors did not squeak.
There was parking in the back of the house and you have a choice of two staircase's, one inside in the front and one outside in the back. Which was helpful in the rain.
