• Graduation Stay Near Boston

  3/5

  Unfortunately the neighborhood was in total upheaval with very disruptive road work. We had a difficult time getting in and out of the driveway with work trucks being parked in front of the house and work day beginning at 8am. The house itself is being updated between rentals with new paint and fixtures. However there were no kitchens towels to use and the bathroom towels are in desperate need to be replaced. Positive note there is plenty of utensils in the kitchen and all the appliances worked great! If it wasn't for all the traffic this place would be ideal being so close to Boston and other wonderful attractions in the area.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Peggy, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and the homeowner would like to share the following:
  -We regret to hear about your concerns regarding the road work. Please note that road maintenance is undertaken by the town, and homeowners do not have control over the timing or locations of these improvements.
  -Regarding the absence of kitchen towels, we have found that most guests prefer to use paper towels for hygienic reasons. However, we provide ample extra paper towels, and regular towels are closely monitored and replaced as needed. Please rest assured that we maintain a sufficient stock for replacements.
  -We understand your frustration with Boston traffic, as it can be challenging for all of us. Nevertheless, we will carefully review your feedback with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to identify areas for improvement and ensure that future guests have a more comfortable experience.
  Our commitment to providing an exceptional stay remains steadfast, and we eagerly anticipate hosting many more satisfied guests.

• Marathon Weekend

  5/5

  We stayed here for the Boston Marathon weekend and the house was perfect for us! Plenty of space for 5 adults and a toddler. The open floor plan between the kitchen, family room, and dining room was great for letting our toddler roam around while still being able to keep an eye on him. The house was clean when we arrived and had everything we needed during our stay. The location is Great, being less than a 30 drive to downtown Boston, with other public transit options just a short drive from the house.

• Great place for the holidays with family

  5/5

  This was an excellent stay for the holidays with family. We decorated the big open common spaces and baked cookies with the kids. The showers have good water pressure, and the beds were comfortable. I would love more towels and warmer blankets, but that is my only tiny critique and is a quick fix! Thank you so much for giving us to land that felt like home over xmas.
