We really enjoyed this home for our family vacation! The owners were very communicative and responded usually within 30 minutes to any questions I had.
We stayed for a week during a heat wave, so having the air conditioning in the living room and two of the bedrooms was really key. One of the bedrooms on the main floor (the master bedroom is downstairs) didn’t have air conditioning but seemed to be cool enough from the other AC units.
I ended up cooking a fair bit and the kitchen was well stocked for pots and pans, plates, etc. Nothing fancy but a good variety of cookware. They had a few pantry basics - oil, salt, pepper, sugar, flour, coffee - but you’d need to bring or buy anything beyond that.
We really liked how close the house was to a T station and also used a Zipcar one of the days (which some are generally available at the T stations). There is not a grocery store in walking distance that I could find, but we had good success with both grocery and food delivery a couple times there, and there are well-stocked convenience stores nearby.
I was also pretty impressed that we couldn’t hear the upstairs unit too badly. I believe it’s an Airbnb too. You can hear footsteps but I never heard voices, tv, or music. The area is a little noisy from street noise, but I kind of assume that’s true anywhere in Boston.
Overall, it was a great place to stay! It worked well for a family trip to have a nice home base.
