Sound Insulation:
This is a basement studio. You will hear steps from the 1st floor because New England house structures are old and sound travels easily. We have added thick sound insulation in all walls and ceiling to reduce that as much as possible, as a result, 95% of guests are not bothered by the sound. However, you will still hear steps. This is not a bunker.

Change of dates Policy: Once the full refund cancellation window has closed, guests may add dates to their reservation but cannot shorten their stay or change the check-in date. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to secure a full refund if travel plans change after the cancellation policy has taken effect.

    We had a lovely stay at this property. Wonderfully located for what we needed. Oscar and Gina were exceptional hosts and made our stay very enjoyable. The unit is very comfortable and well stocked for what we needed. I would stay again when I am back in Boston. Many thanks!!

    Perfectly located for us. Everything we needed was easily found in the appartement. I particularly appreciated the mirror outside the bathroom. Will definitely return here when visiting my son.

    Exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, fully equipped with all amenities—everything you could want in a VRBO. Yes, it’s in a basement but the listing very clearly discloses that. For a longer stay, I might miss having natural light but if you are only there in evenings, it makes no difference. Be aware that there are 5 interior steps that are a bit steep so this wouldn’t be the place for you if you are mobility-impaired, but, again, the listing makes that obvious. I don’t want to sing the praises of this hidden gem too much because then it will be so popular I won’t be able to book it again—and I would certainly book it again with zero hesitation!

    Gina and Oscar were extremely accommodating and their room was a lovely place for us to stay in and take day trips to the Boston area from. The room itself is spacious, extremely clean, and comes with a kitchenette and laundry room. It’s conveniently located just down the straight from local stores. The check in instructions didn’t come through to me properly and both hosts ensured we were immediately taken care of and had no issues after arrival. Highly recommend staying here!

    Good little spot! We wanted something not so in the city. And this spot was perfect for that. Cute and quiet neighborhood with a few near grocery stores, a nice italian deli with great staff, and our favorite bakery, Butternut Bakehouse, only a short 6 minute bus ride away. The actual VRBO had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.. It was very clean and provided us with the essentials.

    The apartment was great. We spent most of our time in Boston but wanted a quieter and less expensive place to stay after being in the city all day. The apartment was furnished with everything we needed and it was so helpful to have a kitchen area to prepare breakfast in. Hosts were communicative and the apartment was nicely decorated. Would definitely recommend.
