Our visit to this beautiful home was fantastic. Out host was so very helpful and kind. Check in was easy. While we were there, we experienced a blizzard and our host snowblowed us out and did so way ahead of our neighbors. The place was perfect for our needs. We would welcome the opportunity to stay there again in the future. And we would highly recommend the home to others. Thanks so very much for sharing your beautiful home

This was a lovely property and was exactly as it was listed. The house had all the amenities that my group of 9 - 6 adults, 3 kids - needed. The house was very clean and well kept. Greg was very responsive to my emails. I wanted to check in 30 minutes early and he really worked with me to make it happen. He also came by and took out the trash for us and asked us if we needed anything. The check-in and check-out process was very straightforward. His directions about what to do on our departure day was very clear and easy.

Beautiful old home! Great neighborhood! The close proximity to Boston allowed us to pack a lot of adventure into 3 days. Close to the train station and the T was easy to navigate. This house was so nice and comfortable to come home to every evening. The kitchen had everything we needed. The deck was a lovely place to hang out, we celebrated our last evening of vacation on the deck with cannolis from Mike’s Pastry.

Wonderful House in Melrose

Greg's house was the perfect place for our two families. We had enough space to spread out and also hang out together. The house was clean, cozy, located in a great neighborhood, had everything we needed, and was even nicely decorated for the holidays! It was very easy to communicate with Greg, and he even came to make sure the snow was shoveled in front of the house. Thank you for providing a place for us to spend time with our friends.

Wedding celebration

Our group of 8 were visiting for a wedding. The home was spacious and we did not feel we were not on top of each other when we were at the house. We were close to the train to get to Boston. The deck was a great place to sit and catch up. Communication with the owner was awesome. He was very responsive and helpful. The owner is willing to work with guest with checking in and out! The drive way is tight, however we were able to fit 3 vehicles. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. Highly recommended Turners Seafood, get the stuff shrimp!! The home was clean. The house is well stocked for cooking( even though we did not cook). The beds were comfy for our stay. The 3rd floor bedroom is a climb but we made the youngs one take that one!! The upstairs shower water does not get that hot, it is luke warm. The downstairs shower is super hot! Both had great water pressure. The living room couch is big enough for all of to sit comfortably to watch some football!
