There's everything a traveler {with their kid} may need; corkscrew, walls to keep the kid away from you, dishes, linens, quiet neighborhood, board games, pens and paper to keep scores, comfy beds and pillows, TV, cable, wii, soaps, lotions, possibly potions, walking distance access to the T if you need it, wifi, keys {2sets} parking permit, and one of the nicest people we've ever met as our host.
This was our 1st ABnb experience. It was in a word; wonderful. Being new to the process and unfamiliar with booking, Kate took amazing steps to help us do what we needed. We were in essence a last minute booking and Kate called to confirm us-while we were on our flight to Boston. My battery was basically dead when we landed, we thought they'd lost our bags and we needed to get to Porter sq AND find lodgings for the night. It was an absolute comedy of errors until I heard the voicemail Kate left for us just checking in to be sure we had a place to stay and letting us know they were freshing up the place in case we would need it.
It was in the top 5 for phone calls I've received in my life!
We talked, I gushed apologies over the late request, Kate was completely unconcerned, told me they'd be happy to have us, and went totally out of her way to help us get there and settled. She's the sweetest person!
The place is truly adorably, whimsically, artistically well appointed.
The giant wood table in the dining area was perfect for the crafting my teen wanted to do before a visit to a friend, the 1st bedroom is big enough not to have to be called cozy, but the décor is relaxing and cozy, -even though theres a TV in the 2nd bedroom my teen said 'This room is so cute!!!' and decided it belonged to them.
The bathroom was clean and charming and stocked with 'just in case we forgot' things. The shower....my god the shower made me think rudely of my own shower back home. Ha! It's spacious and the temperature and pressure was great. The tiling and finishing are all so well done. Visually it was such a comfortable but luxurious space to be in.
The kitchen is also adorable and artistically delicious! Kate wrote a welcome msg, left snacks and yummy things in the minibar and on the counter for us to have light nosh.Things like delicious Greek yogurt, organic jam, granola, chocolates, and coffee and tea just in case.
The 2nd bedroom had an awesome comfy daybed, TV, 2 really cute antique sitting chairs, AC, and a wardrobe FULL of board games! The kids wouldn't have made it to Narnia if they'd seen Kate and Andy's wardrobe first. We played game well into the night and till woke up well rested and able to enjoy the next 2days.
We loved this experience! Thank u, Kate!!!
