Temple Street

We had a pleasant stay. The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. It is in a convenient location with several restaurants in walking distance as well as a supermarket. The neighborhood is quiet with little traffic coming through. Victor the host was responsive and answered any questions we had. Would recommend without hesitation.

Cozy House

This was a nice cozy house, not too far from a grocery store and some nice restaurants. It was nice getting out of Boston in the evenings. There are quite a few stairs, both to get into the house and to 2 of the bedrooms, so take note of that. We enjoyed our stay!

Cute home in a nice, safe neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay. Because the home is a craftsman home, taller guests may prefer staying in the downstairs bedroom versus upstairs. There were 5 of us and we all had plenty of room to move about. Loved the front and back porches for coffee and tea in the mornings.

Great Boston stay

We had a great stay in this nice little house. The house was set up and decorated nicely and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was safe, we sat out on the front porch in evening to enjoy a class of wine and ate dinner outside on the completely private back deck. We walked to D&D and dinner at a local tavern that had excellent food and exercised on the greenway which is 11/2 blocks from the house. We would surely stay at this place again.

Fun stay in Boston

We had an amazing time. The house was very nice and just what we needed. The only thing I would say is the address should say Mattapan instead of Boston. Otherwise, no other issue. Thank you for letting us stay in your home.

Cozy and clean

We received all the information we needed the day before check-in. The house was as advertised. The offstreet parking was great. The house was walking distance to a grocery store, Dunkin’ Donuts, and several other places. The people in the area that I interacted with were very friendly.

location

We enjoyed our stay. Very close to where we needed to be. The only suggestion I would have when staying here is to be sure you clarify the location. There are several streets that have the same name so we went to three different locations before we were in the correct place.

Very Nice Overall

The house was very nice overall; clean & well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Just a couple of issues that we found. The hot water faucet handle on the downstairs bathroom comes off. So it needs to be fixed. Also all the doors creak-need to use WD40 on all the doors. Also, as a safety issue, plastic mats need to be in the bathtub/shower. We were 4 70 year old women and found the tub/shower floor to be slick…..

Weekend ball tournament

Quaint rental property, but for 5 guys who were not too picky and just needed a place to sleep, it was perfect! Chatting with some local law enforcement, we learned it’s not the best town, but we weren’t out taking any late night strolls around the neighborhood either. In reality, we couldn’t have asked for better place for us. It shows just the same as in the photos, is clean, with soft linens!! What more do you need??

Hidden Gem

Stayed here for 5 nights in May 2024 to see sights in and around the area (Lexington and Concord, Quincy, Plymouth, Salem, and downtown Boston). House provided a jumping off point for all these destinations and was a comfortable retreat after dealing with the obnoxious traffic. Kitchen was well equipped for us to cook a hot breakfast every morning; upstairs queen mattress was comfortable; and having access to a washer and dryer to cut down on the amount of clothes we had to pack was wonderful. Communication with the host and check-in was super easy. As another guest mentioned, there is no shampoo, conditioner, or soap/body wash for the bathroom (although there is liquid handsoap for the sink) so make sure to pack those items. There are several restaurants and a small grocery store within walking distance. Thank you again Victor for hosting us!

Labor Day Anniversary Trip

This vacation property was just as stated, a remodeled house in a neighborhood just south of downtown Boston. It was approximately 20 minutes to anywhere we went over the weekend (except Concord Lexington and Salem). The grocery store was right around the corner as was the liquor store. (Hint) groceries in MA do not sell beer. Restuarant/bar, Taqueria, and coffee shop within walking distance. The laundry was in the unfinished basement, no problem for us as our basement is unfinished also. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well stocked (bigger coffee cups (wink, wink). Very clean house, fluffy towels and a grest host Thank You Jack and the Crew
