Perfect location

This house was perfect for the needs of a three generation family that came to Boston to visit family. The location was ideal and the neighborhood was peaceful, beautiful and safe. The kitchen had the basic amenities necessary for morning coffee, and meals and the bathrooms were well stocked with toiletries. Jeff was always available to answer any questions and check in on our stay. This house worked well for our family!

Short trip to Boston

Taking a quick trip to Boston to see some sights and catch a game. We had two families and really enjoyed our time at this rental. It was spacious and clean. We had easy communication with the owner and he had prompt responses anytime we talked. I would definitely recommend this location to other families looking for a place to stay.

A great spot!

This was an excellent property. Incredibly clean, and probably the best communication I have ever had with a property manager. The location is convenient to downtown and other parts of Boston, but the property itself is nestled on a quiet street. There's a really cute little backyard oasis as well. We would definitely stay here again! I cannot recommend it enough.

Army Navy Game

We came to Boston to attend the Army Navy game with our adult children. This house was perfect for the 7 of us. It was situated in a lovely neighborhood within close proximity to everything Boston. We loved the spaciousness for our group. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would definitely rent again.

Boston family vaca

The communication with the owner was exceptional. The home was clean and well stocked with soaps, detergents and paper products. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and it is conveniently located to downtown Boston. The furnishings are in need of replacing and the bedrooms downstairs need a place to store your clothing so you don’t live out of your suitcase. The price for the rental was very affordable for a large group.

Christmas Vacation

Everything was exactly as described. House was clean and spacious and we had all the amenities needed. The neighborhood felt very safe and all the homes still had their Christmas lights up, added bonus! This was our first visit to Boston and we could not have asked for better accommodations for our family of 5. The owner was very communicative and friendly. Thank you for your hospitality!

The host thought of everything! We could have just showed up with clothes, they had towels, toiletries, bottles of water...very neat clean and spacious! We had 8 adults it was great to have 2 & 1/2 bathrooms we could all get ready no problem. No long check out list, we took out our trash and left, so easy and convenient. Host Sent us a text with local information and had great communication though out the entire process. If we ever come back to Boston I would definitely stay here again!

Spacious home close to downtown Boston

Communication with the host was wonderful and timely. Checking in and out was quite easy, which was nice because after driving for 10 hours you just want to get in and relax! The house was incredibly clean and spacious, more spacious than we needed really for three, which in itself is a luxury to find in the Boston area. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was clean and functional, and the showers were nice. And the neighborhood was quiet, private and seemed very safe - lots of people jogging and walking their pets. The owner, Jeff, was very nice. When we asked about a grill (which was not listed in the amenities), he offered to leave a small charcoal grill in the garage. We didn't use it but it was a very generous gesture. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely consider staying here again.

Roxbury House

We enjoyed our stay at the house. Jeff is a accommodating and involved host. He was prompt with responses and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. Jeff was kind enough to leave us a case of water upon our arrival. We all said we would stay there again. The house worked very well for us since we had a larger group. 3 bedrooms upstairs with 3 beds in the lower level also (split level home). Two TV/living areas with plenty of seating in both. Two tables in the kitchen and dining. Outside seating in the deck also. Very cute neighborhood with nice houses. It is close to Boston. The train station is a mile or so away and easy to use. Boston traffic is atrocious at times so the train was a nice fall back. On a trip from the airport to the house is took us about 45 minutes to go 9 miles since one of the tunnels is closed. Plenty of Uber drivers in the area.
