We came to Boston as part of our annual family vacation/reunion to watch the NCAA Lacrosse Championships, so we needed a very large home in between the city and Gillette Stadium that could accommodate 4 lacrosse loving families... and Damon's house served our needs perfectly.
One of the best aspects of renting this home was the very responsive communication with Damon both leading up to our stay and throughout our stay. So rest assured that if you have any questions, Damon will there for you very quickly.
The house itself was extremely clean from top to bottom... kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and common areas were spotless. All the bedrooms have very comfortable beds with plenty of pillows, linens and blankets, plus there are several extra sleeping options available with floor mattresses, roll-away beds, sofa beds, etc. The house has 2 full kitchens with very large refrigerators along with all of the other major kitchen appliances, small and large. There's also 2 big dining room spaces adjacent to each kitchen... at one point we had card games going on two floors!
The 3rd floor was a great space for our older teens to hang out, but note that the ceiling heights are lower where they mirror the roof lines. So tall folks do have to duck a bit going up and down the stairs, and near exterior walls. Same goes for the shower bath on the 3rd floor, so they may be better served using the bathrooms on the other levels.
I'll concur with another reviewer that you can hear the Centre Street traffic if you are sleeping in either the sunroom on the 1st floor or the bedroom on the 3rd floor, so I recommend reserving those rooms for heavy sleepers or for those that are early risers. That said, you don't hear a thing in any of the other sleeping areas.
One bonus we didn't realize until we got there was the patio and gas fire pit in the backyard, which was a great spot to hang out in the evenings. I also was a little worried before arrival about the parking situation but that never was an issue. The driveway can hold up to 4 cars and there was always plenty of parking on Centre Street.
Finally, the house is within walking distance to several restaurants and bars, and you'll have fun looking at the local West Roxbury/Roslindale home architecture along the way. The streets and neighborhood are also great for walkers or runners.
We absolutely loved our stay in Damon's home and highly recommend it to other large families... very engaged host, big and clean house with all the amenities of home, and great location. Thanks Damon and go Terps!!!
