The house is beautiful, and the location is about 10 minutes from everything you need to get to in Boston. The house is as advertised, and the photos depict what you'll get. The hot water is great in the house too! The host, Lisa, was extremely accommodating as well!
My 3-star rating is due to the fact that the heat barely works!! Thank goodness we were only there 2 nights. Obviously, winters are cold in the New England area. The heat did not go above 60 no matter what the stats were set at. It was incredibly uncomfortable. We managed to find 3 space heaters in 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Someone had to share a room due to this unexpectedly as you literally could not get warm in this home. And with the icy rain we stayed in the home more than planned. We had to resort to carrying space heaters to any room we sat in. The living room has a door to close, so you can trap the heat from a space heater in there. It's just a little ridiculous that we had to do this to sit anywhere in the home. My one friend has RA and had to dress FULLY clothed to stop the aching from the cold. She's the one who ended up having to share a room with someone else just for heat.
Also, if the weather is bad, be prepared to make your way up those icy front steps. Upon arrival, they were not treated and were a solid sheet of ice. My stepmother is disabled with minimal mobility; usually, she can make her way up steps slowly with little assistance. We had to carry her due to the sheet of ice steps. I did text the host immediately, and she did run over and bring ice melt and a shovel. So I absolutely thank her for resolving that so quickly!
Overall, the home is beautiful and spacious; it just was very uncomfortable due to a lack of heat in the home.
