This house was conveniently located near the trolley (approx. 3 block walk) which took us to the trolley then subway to downtown area of Boston, so we could leave our vehicle in the driveway (which has a nice L-shaped driveway). The 3 bedroom / 2 bath house was roomy and comfortable for four friends. Large kitchen with plenty of ‘appliances’The host was quick to respond with questions about the house / the area…. We would stay here again if in the area.

Cute house close to plenty of dining

This house is in a great location and within walking distance of a grocery store and a lot of dining options. The area is cute and the house is well maintained with plenty of room for 6 people. Downtown Boston is about 30 minutes away (depending on traffic) which was quite convenient. Would stay here again.

Boston-Mattapan

Wonderful host & house. Victor was quick to respond to questions and got the propane refilled in no time. The little touches like coffee pods & tea bags were so welcome! Having a washer & dryer to use was great too. The area was quieter than we expected & an easy enough walk to the grocery/pharmacy if one chose to. The house was spotless and the linens were very nice. We will definitely recommend this to anyone going to Boston who doesn’t want to be in the downtown area.

Great place, nice neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely and clean home. Please make sure you double check the address as there are two identical addresses in Boston and I booked this house for Harvard graduation thinking it was 15 minutes away when it was actually about 50. However, that was my bad—it is listed correctly and public transit is convenient and close by.
