Boston's Best Vacation Home

Boston is known for its famous clam chowder, the Boston Marathon, the bar from Cheers, baseball (the Red Sox), Fenway Park and of course, baked beans. But did you know that Boston is famous also for its rich history, and that it was the birthplace of the American Revolution (Boston Tea Party, anyone)?

The Massachusetts capital is also known as the Athens of America for its artistic and intellectual prowess — after all, it does boast of some of the greatest colleges and universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Tufts University and Berklee School of Music.
ThisCozy place 15 Minutes from Downtown Boston / Sea Port, walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy and public transportation. Also, close to Boston's Main artery i93 which will take you anywhere you need to go in Boston.

We had a pleasant stay. The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. It is in a convenient location with several restaurants in walking distance as well as a supermarket. The neighborhood is quiet with little traffic coming through. Victor the host was responsive and answered any questions we had. Would recommend without hesitation.

I stayed here with family members. We thought the property was very lovely and in a pleasant neighborhood. Everything we could need was in the house. We especially appreciated the toiletries and the Nespresso provided. Kitchen was fully functional. The property was very clean and the bedrooms and living spaces were nicely decorated. It felt more personable and comfortable than staying in a hotel. It was truly a nice getaway for us who were in the area to explore Boston!

Very Nice Overall
The house was very nice overall; clean & well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Just a couple of issues that we found. The hot water faucet handle on the downstairs bathroom comes off. So it needs to be fixed. Also all the doors creak-need to use WD40 on all the doors. Also, as a safety issue, plastic mats need to be in the bathtub/shower. We were 4 70 year old women and found the tub/shower floor to be slick…..

Cozy House
This was a nice cozy house, not too far from a grocery store and some nice restaurants. It was nice getting out of Boston in the evenings. There are quite a few stairs, both to get into the house and to 2 of the bedrooms, so take note of that. We enjoyed our stay!

We received all the information we needed the day before check-in. The house was as advertised. The offstreet parking was great. The house was walking distance to a grocery store, Dunkin’ Donuts, and several other places. The people in the area that I interacted with were very friendly.

All was qell and organized
Overall the location and home were wonderful. The community was nice, welcoming and we felt safe. The home was equipped woth everything you need from toiletries and kitchen needs. Entrance to the home was easy but you must remember to manually lock the door when you enter or push the button to lock it. We had an issue with the downstairs toiket, and the July 4th holiday delayed matters, however it was addressed pretty swiftly by a plumber. Aside from that everything was great and perfect for meeting al our needs. We all would definitely stay here again.

Great Boston stay
We had a great stay in this nice little house. The house was set up and decorated nicely and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was safe, we sat out on the front porch in evening to enjoy a class of wine and ate dinner outside on the completely private back deck. We walked to D&D and dinner at a local tavern that had excellent food and exercised on the greenway which is 11/2 blocks from the house. We would surely stay at this place again.

We had an amazing time. The house was very nice and just what we needed. The only thing I would say is the address should say Mattapan instead of Boston. Otherwise, no other issue. Thank you for letting us stay in your home.

Cute home in a nice, safe neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay. Because the home is a craftsman home, taller guests may prefer staying in the downstairs bedroom versus upstairs. There were 5 of us and we all had plenty of room to move about. Loved the front and back porches for coffee and tea in the mornings.

Hidden Gem
Stayed here for 5 nights in May 2024 to see sights in and around the area (Lexington and Concord, Quincy, Plymouth, Salem, and downtown Boston). House provided a jumping off point for all these destinations and was a comfortable retreat after dealing with the obnoxious traffic. Kitchen was well equipped for us to cook a hot breakfast every morning; upstairs queen mattress was comfortable; and having access to a washer and dryer to cut down on the amount of clothes we had to pack was wonderful. Communication with the host and check-in was super easy. As another guest mentioned, there is no shampoo, conditioner, or soap/body wash for the bathroom (although there is liquid handsoap for the sink) so make sure to pack those items. There are several restaurants and a small grocery store within walking distance. Thank you again Victor for hosting us!
