The house was nice and spacious and fully-equipped with everything we needed for the kitchen, including food they had left for us, coffees, teas, spices, even wine and beer which was very kind for them to leave for us. There was plenty of bedding, towels, toiletries, hair dryers, iron, washing machine, dryer, etc. We didn't lack anything during our stay. Spacious parking area and nice back porch to sit on. The area is good, we drove to Forest Hills T-station (parking is $6-$8/day) and bought a week-long pass for unltd. travel for $16 each (it was inexpensive for 5 of us to do that). I didn't explore the area much as we had gone for my cousin's graduation from Harvard and had activities there all day for 4 days. However, it looked really nice when we drove past, there were some nice shops and restaurants within walking distance. There is also an overground train station that is walking distance from the house, however you have to pay for that outside of the T pass.
