Nice location and Allison the host was wonderful. It is an older house though lots of character and the room was very nice. The refrigerator needs to be replaced and the ice box was frosted over. Otherwise it was a very nice stay.

The Life House was a very quiet, charming and friendly spot. Very much so a boutique hotel feel. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was the room we stayed in on the 3rd floor. Being over 6 feet, the room had slanted ceilings and a very tight doorway. It was very tight and not spacious unlike some of the other rooms I saw. Would definitely stay again but would make sure I don’t stay in that room again.

They didn’t even have toothpaste which we forgot so had to instacart at 9:30pm for 28$. When we tried to check in no one was around and we waited for over 10 minutes for someone to give us a key. The air conditioning cycled on and off all night and was as loud as a plane taking off when it would turn on. The bed was so soft and was slanted with dips in it which made sleeping very difficult. No room in the bathroom for any toiliteries. Had to crane neck to watch the television and the Apple TV was unusable because apps needed updates you couldn’t update the apps.

elizabeth, Medfield

I rated it “just ok” because it Just felt like the property owners try to get the most bang from our buck. Bed mattress was broken on one side, offer coffee and tea but literally not even Splenda Ect. Smell coming in was VERY pungent. It literally was JUST OK, nothing special

Charming bed and breakfast with room to improve

This is a very old house converted to a bed and breakfast type accommodation, not a hotel. The finishes were indeed beautifully redone - tile, lighting and furniture all beautiful. The check in was a bit awkward in addition to the “lobby” which was just a living room with a few couples already sipping coffee. The hostess placed us in, arguably, the worst room #102. Right at the base of the stairs and front door, we heard traffic outside and people coming in and out all night. The wood floors upstairs also made every move from the 202 residents very audible. We asked to move rooms at the outset but the hostess said there went any available without “downgrading”. The TV was a nice amenity but didn’t have an adjustable mount so it just faced the wrong way - no way to watch comfortably from the bed. Overall just wasn’t what we expected but wasn’t the worst.
