The Tranquil House was a lovely place to stay while visiting the Boston area. The house is in a good location just a short walk from a bus station. The host was super kind and helpful and the space felt very welcoming. We initially planned to stay for only one night but ended up extending to two because we liked it so much (and wanted more time in Boston). We would highly recommend staying here!

Mark was a congenial and helpful host, great conversationalist. House was exceptionally clean and very homey/ cozy. Got a chance to practice my embryonic Mandarin with him as he is bilingual. Will definitely return. Parking was easy and accessible.
