This house made our trip to Boston to run the marathon very easy. The house was actually more spacious than I expected with enough bedroom space for all eight of us plus a large enough kitchen and living room for us all to hang out. The proximity to the orange line allowed us to easily get places like the Hynes Convention Center for the race expo, the Boston Commons race morning and all the sightseeing we wanted to do including getting to Fenway Park for a Red Sox game. Also, there was a small park down the street where we could get a little jogging in the days before the race. Helder allowed us to arrive before the official 2:00 P.M. check in and seemed very flexible. I would definitely consider staying in this house with a large group again.
