My stay was fantastic and this place is a gem! It truly felt like a home away from home. It is close enough to the big cities to drive to or take the train. There are plenty of places to dine at and a few grocery stores in the immediate area. Everything was fully stocked with more than I expected. Anytime I needed to reach out to the host she responded immediately and is beyond kind! If I am very in the area again I will definitely be staying here if it’s available.

My son and I stayed for 5 day on our first trip with just us two. We wanted to explore Boston and the surrounding areas, and this house and its location allowed for just that. The check-in process and communication with the property manager were both very clear and easy. The property itself was exactly what we needed. It was stocked with so many extras that one might forget on to pack as well as plenty of snacks. There was also an incredible selection of both teas and coffee. We wanted for absolutely nothing but more time. Would for sure stay again if ever back in town.

Beautiful!

Lisa was an absolutely AMAZING host. The place was very clean and cozy. Lisa provided everything that we needed and then some. My best friend and I did a lot of exploring in Cambridge and Salem. We very much did enjoyed coming back to the cozy apartment at the end of the day for a quiet and very comfortable restful nights sleep. There are plenty of places that deliver food and there is a beautiful kitchen if you prefer to stay in and cook. Will definitely be returning and recommending the place to family and friends.

Awesome

Best place I ever stayed in and would definitely stay here again!!! I would say the only thing that would make this place the total bomb is if they put a washer and dryer in the unit!! But the place was so clean and they had everything you could imagine!! Totally awesome!!! Thank you Lisa for your tremendous hospitality!!!

Perfect Little Place

We were here to watch our daughter participate in the Boston Marathon. This wonderful little place in Medford was perfect. It was clean and stocked full of everything we needed. The neighborhood was a friendly and welcoming. The host answered every question I had promptly. I highly recommend this perfect little place for anyone visiting Boston.

Very comfortable in great location

My daughter and I really enjoyed our.stay in Medford. Lisa was a great host and available but I never needed her as all of the information needed was readily available. Close to the T for quick trips into Boston. I would definitely stay there again.

Very comfortable place for Boston area

Convenient location; Medford is a bit of a hidden gem. Lots of local food options nearly, easy access to the highway (93) and State Routes 16 & 60. The apartment is as advertised and the hosts have gone out of their way to make everything seamless. Coffee, snacks, emergency toiletries, etc, place sis very well furnished. Will stay again next time I need a home base for Boston area.

Wonderful stay!!!

We had an amazing experience staying here 3 nights to celebrate our nephew’s graduation from Harvard. The place was spotless, with great attention to detail. Keurig, coffee pods and creamers in the refrigerator made our 1st morning very relaxing and we didn’t have to immediately run to the store! Loved the bed linens and towels. Communicating with Lisa was always easy and prompt. Will definitely stay here again if in this area!
