We loved staying at Alex and Bethany’s place! We will definitely come back.
First, there is so much space for our family of 3. The master bedroom is massive and the bathroom is large. We were there with our 1 year old toddler and we were able to set up her pack and play in the “study” room. We felt like it was also possible to stay at this place with 1 more kid or 1 more adult. We didn’t use the extra bedroom across the hall, but could if we wanted to. It felt refreshing to find this much space for this price in Boston.
Second, everything was so comfortable. My husband and I still rave about the bed to this day. I’m not sure what it is made of, but definitely helped me to have many great nights of sleep and woke up to feeling very well rested in the morning. We will come back just for that bed.
Third, location was convenient. It’s still in the city of Boston and the Orange Line station is a few minutes away. We mostly drove in our car and had parking in the driveway. JP is a great neighborhood that is very walkable. The only thing is that it can get a little dodgy very late at night walking from the T back to the airbnb - it’s generally safe, but there were some times when I felt uncertain.
Lastly, Alex and Bethany were communicative, respectful, and flexible. Great hosts!
