College drop off

Clean welcoming house that was perfect for our trip to Boston to drop off one of our kids. Having the comfortable space to relax and gather was key. The driveway parking was also really nice. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Excellent Local Boston Family Friendly Rental

A great VRBO Rental This apartment is beautifully furnished and appointed. It’s in a very convenient location to get into Cambridge, parts of Boston, and access to the MASS Pike. Well stocked with all of the kitchen tools and cooking utensils required. Only concern we had was the platform beds not mattress in the rooms. For seniors, this could be an issue, if you have back problems. Standard Cable channels but no NESN Sports for local sport teams. Otherwise this is an exceptional rental property.

Awesome in Allston

Michelle and Stephen’s place is beautiful and very clean. They timely respond to questions we had before our visit and Stephen was there to meet us when we checked in. The house has everything we needed. The house is located within walking distance of bars and restaurants so lots to choose from. It is a ways away (not walking distance) from the sites we were seeing (Fenway, Harvard, Freedom Trail) but with Uber and Lyft, not a problem as it was a pretty short car ride. Thanks Michelle and Stephen for sharing your home!

Michelle made everything easy and home like. She was quick to respond, offered great tips about Boston and the surrounding area, and check in/out was so simple. The house was clean, exactly what we expected, and there was lots of room for everyone. Also located in a very walkable area. Close to Boston but also coastal areas. Off street parking was a huge advantage. Highly recommend.

Excellent accommodations, host and location!

This property is in a great location. The T is located about 1/2 mile walking distance. We chose to Uber and occasionally drive. The four levels of living space gives plenty of room to spread out. And, a rare find, with 2 1/2 baths and an adorable back yard space plus parking and washer/driver. Michelle is a great host- always available and addressed any questions/concerns immediately. She provides recommendations for dining and touring. The house is well equipped with staples which is an added plus. Would recommend and stay again in the future.

Heaven in Boston

We spent an incredible week at the home of Michelle and Stephen. The house is wonderfully located and a true blessing to come home to after a day of sightseeing. Michelle, Stephen, and Bartok will make you feel at home and help you in any way possible to make your stay more enjoyable. I thank them both for helping to make our week in Boston enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable. That next time my family is in Boston we will definitely be contacting Michelle and Stephen about a vacancy. Anyone visiting Boston should put their home on your lodging list.

Well appointed and equipped house

This really felt like a home from home for us, which whilst we were working especially, made a huge difference to our stay. The house is well appointed with the owners having thought of everything we might need. Only one small thing in that us Brits do love our toast and the toaster really isn't very well- we couldn't get it to work properly. This is a lovely clean and welcoming house. I loved my bedroom with a hugely comfortable bed as well as an ensuite which was very welcoming after a long haul flight. If we'd had more time, we would have made more use of the garden. Thank you for letting us share your lovely home. We hope to return soon.
