We had an amazing experience at the beautiful Grand View house. The host was reliable and the Swank app was very helpful. You can even control the temperatures of the house on it! The stay was very comfortable with huge rooms and offered everything 8 girls needed. The location is about 15-20 minutes from downtown Boston. The best way and cheapest to get around was using the Uber app (approx $20 to dt). We didn't use the subway about it was about a 10 minute walk away. Must do is Fenway tour and see Quincy market!
