We had a group of 6 staying here over the week of July 4th. 2 couples and 2 boys, a teen and a pre-teen. The size of the house was perfect, as both boys had their own room. Everything was clean when we arrived with fresh towels in every room. The bathrooms were well stocked with toilet paper, shampoo and soap. The house is very old and has lots of stairs so keep that in mind. The laundry is in the basement and is coin operated. We didn't mind all the stairs as we wanted to work off all that great Boston food we'd been eating! The beds were very comfortable and the A/C worked very well, a good thing since it got really warm out when we were there. We loved the rooftop patio and we watched the fireworks from there and the view was perfect. The other tenants in the building also used the roof patio but everyone was really nice and there was plenty of room. The best part of the house is the location. Beacon Hill is beautiful and very quiet at night so it was nice to come back to that after being out in the busy city all day. Gloria gave us several suggestions on where to go. We followed her suggestion of taking the Boston Harbor Ferry out to Georges Island and exploring Fort Warren. The boys thought that was the greatest! Be sure to take flashlights if you go. It's a great adventure! Our favorite little neighborhood place was Caffe Bella Vita. We loved their sandwiches and their ice cream is very good too. We also loved Boston Commons, a beautiful park right down the street, and the Charles River Esplanade was just a couple blocks away. Gloria was very prompt to respond to any questions we had and she met us at the house when we got there to show us around. If you don't mind climbing stairs, I would recommend this house.
