We had a great stay. Check in was easy, house rules easy to follow, and there was ample space for 3 of us! I appreciate all of the pre-check in communications.
Staying at your home felt like staying in a friend's house. The house was well equipped and comfortable, unlike many of the furnished apartments designed for short term rentals. We did a fair amount of cooking and found all of the utensils we needed (including spices, oils, and sauces). However, the oven wasn't working while we were there.
We had plenty of towels for the 3 of us and there was the washer & dryer if we needed to do a wash.
The location was great. We walked to JP Licks on Centre Street and my daughter hopped on the orange line into Boston to meet friends. Chestnut Terrace is pretty narrow and I think large vehicles would find it hard to maneuver. We were fine.
JP Oil, near the house has some of the cheapest gas prices in the area! The house is only <15min drive to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabela Stewart Gardner Museum; 20 min to Harvard and the seaport.
The cats are friendly and easy to care for. Change the water and put dry cat food in their bowl daily. I am not familiar with cat's (I have dogs). They do not require a lot of attention. One night they did not come home!
We enjoyed ourselves immensely and we absolutely made the right choice in staying here for the week.
