Host and property both get 5-stars from me. The free snacks and spacious unit really sets this place apart from all other Airbnb’s. We had my elderly in-laws plus my family with small kids and there was plenty of room. Mattresses were memory foam-latex and were very comfortable. Jetted tub was a nice touch after a long day of walking.
Just a few tips to future renters:
1). Yes! It’s the whole first floor! Kitchen, laundry room (with laundry machines), 2 bedrooms, dining room, living room and bathroom for this fantastic price.
2) My in-laws are elderly, we took the 201,210 bus to/from the Fields Corner sub station. It stops at the bottom of the hill from this property. Free if you’re transferring from the subway or have a 1-day pass. This saves about a mile of walking each way and the bus goes in a loop, so it’s not a long ride.
3) Stop and Shop is a great grocery store about .8 miles away (via walking). We bought groceries here for breakfast/dinner. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything one would need to cook up a family sized feast. All appliances were new and worked great!
4) Laundry facilities saved our trip. Our littlest got sick on the last day and we were able to wash his clothes and his pack n play that we had brought along. Shawn was a very gracious host in regards to this as it happened the morning of our check out.
5) There is a pretty nice park with playground very close to the property. Boston folks are very nice and my kids enjoyed playing with other local kids.
