We stayed its extended family and our two small children in this house in the Boston suburbs for a long weekend and found it to be perfect for our needs. The immediate area is very pretty, with lots of greenery and beautiful old houses. And while it's not in downtown Boston, it's a very short train trip or drive into the centre of town. It's also within walking distance from some cute cafes and a supermarket.

While our weekend was pretty much rained out, it was handy to have access to the large selection of Netflix movies and tv shows to entertain our preschooler. Margaret also thoughtfully left some fresh milk and bread for us, which was very helpful given we arrived after midnight.

I thoroughly recommend staying at Margaret's house. All communication with her was fast and easy, and we appreciated the detailed instructions for the house and lists of things to do in the immediate area and surrounds she left for us in the house.
