Overall, this is a great house, very spacious, well-equipped and very well located. The four of us strongly recommend it!
In more details, this rental has multiple very positive aspects, including:
- the house is great and, again, really spacious and we loved having the 2 floors, including 2 bathrooms.
- the house was very well equipped in terms of consumables, furniture or equipment. The washer / drier set was perfect!
- the location is great whether in terms of access to transports (subway, bus, Lyft) or neighborhood. Arriving from Back Bay station was very easy with a 20 min walk throughout a nice park and some more time in bus. It’s also about 20 min to the Airport by car.
- we really really liked, and strongly recommend, the “Life Alive organic restaurant” which is nearby (8 min by foot).
- our hosts were extremely helpful when we asked about storing our luggage post- checkout (thanks again for that!).
- having books around in several of the rooms made us feel at home :)
Note that there was a little mix-up during check-in which was immediately fixed by Emil - super reactive. There had also apparently been a problem with the cleaning prior to our arrival. Given the other reviews, this seems like a one-off and our hosts offered to fix the issue in different ways, being again very reactive, leaving us satisfied with how it was handled.
In summary, for groups of 4 or more who want to explore Boston and the Cambridge area, this is an excellent place to stay at!
