We were warmly welcomed by Adriana & Gianni, especially considering the hour at night. They kindly helped us with our luggage, as one of us had our arms full with our baby.
The rental house appeared just like the pictures - we were happy to find the rooms are much larger than expected! The only issue was the dryer wasn't working properly, so we had to air dry our laundry. When traveling with a baby, the convenience/speed of the dryer would have been more ideal.
The neighbourhood is close to central Boston, about 15 minutes on transit. Transit stop is five minute walk from house. It was about a 20 minute walk to Wholefoods, and along the way is another grocery store & some restaurants. We did try The Haven one evening, which is a decent quality Scottish pub.
As frequent travelers, we would have liked to know the noise level of the neighbourhood, which was louder than what we're used to living in a suburb. You can hear sirens, traffic sounds and general street noise when inside the house/trying to sleep. If you're not sensitive to noise, then I'm sure you'll be fine!
We would recommend this place to other travelers, as it's a safe & spacious house at a great price!
