My belated college graduation brought us back to Boston after many years away. Joined by my wife, Mom and Dad, we needed a place with simple breakfast amenities and 2 or 3 beds. Luckily, we found this beautiful downstairs apartment.

Marc our host was very prompt with answering our initial questions at booking and any other questions that cropped up as our 3-night stay approached. Self check-in was a breeze upon our late-evening arrival, and we ordered some pizza for delivery (We wish we'd told the delivery guy that he needn't be wary of walking down the driveway to the back entrance: with two automatic sensor security lights, and an automatic porch light, it was very safe and welcoming. But Marc took delivery at the front and saved our dinner!)

The basic kitchenette had what was needed for a simple breakfast (microwave, toaster oven, fridge, Keurig and accessories). The beds (we used two, but had the option to also use the sofa bed) were comfortable and we all slept well. Bath towels, face cloths were provided for each guest (and there were even some hotel travel soaps & hair products).

With WiFi and parking onsite, our stay was private and comfortable in the beautiful, quiet area of Brighton. Many restaurants and stores were only a short 10-minute walk away on Washington St., and the bus stop was right outside the house on the corner. There were many good routes into downtown, including taking the nearby Mass turnpike (toll $1.25) right into the heart of the city.

The whole place was clean and just like the pictures. Lots of light and a cozy atmosphere. We hope to be back to Boston and stay here again sometime. Thanks!
