What a great stay! From the moment we booked to (sadly) leaving, the entire experience was excellent. Maggie was incredibly communicative and accommodating. She answered our million questions before and during our stay, and even brought over extra kitchen items that we requested.
The location of the house cannot be beat. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, right next to a beautiful park, with Whole Foods a 2 minute walk away (literally!). Walk another ten minutes and you’re at Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, Micro Center, and the Charles River. The T at Central Square is only a 20 minute walk, as well as Mass Ave and MIT campus. There is also a Black Sheep Market around the corner, which sells excellent bagels and other grocery essentials. We want to live in this neighborhood. Seriously.
The house itself is adorable. It’s old, but you can tell she put a lot of work into making it a comfortable place. The kitchen is small, but it’s perfect for making simple meals. The laundry units are next to the fridge for easy access. There is only one bathroom, which is in the kitchen, and it’s tiny, but we made it work when we had overnight guests. The bedrooms are upstairs and are very spacious. One of them has a office attached, so you can do work if needed. Plenty of closet space as well.
The stairs are also a little steep, so be careful.
Overall, this is a great house for a couple to stay in, without or without a dog, as it has plenty of room, but more than that it could get a little crowded. The house is also pet friendly, and it was perfect for our dog - it has a fenced in yard, the park across the street, and as I mentioned before, the Charles River. This house was absolutely perfect for our two month stay. We loved every minute and felt like a local. I highly recommend this house!
