I stayed at Cathy’s with my husband and young son, along with a cousin, my in-laws and their dog. There was plenty of room for everyone. Cathy checked in and made sure we had everything we needed and she also gave us advice about what to see and do in Boston. Yet she was also discreet so that we very much felt like we had the house to ourselves. It felt like a home away from home.
The house was immaculate and stocked with the basics: soap, shampoo, cups, utensils, etc., and there was also a cabinet full of art supplies and note saying to please feel free to draw. There was a lovely back porch with a swing overlooking a small yard where the dog got to run around.
The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Public transportation, the train and bus stations, are walking distance and it was short train ride, twenty minutes at most, into Boston proper. There are also grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance of the house. If you’re a New Yorker who doesn’t have a car, you don’t have to rent one to stay here.
Staying at Cathy’s was a terrific experience and we plan to absolutely book again whenever we go to Boston.
