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.

    Host sends a greeting text the next day offering any help. Room is clean, decorated nicely and has all the kitchen amenities. Comfortable bed. Sofa bad good. Also offers a nice washer and dryer. Bus 77 is a few steps away to Harvard Square where you can take the redline to downtown Boston. Get off at Medford Street where there are shopping and restaurants or take a 15-20 minutes walk to/from this quiet location. There are also good bike trails. Off street parking.

    Oscar and Gina were delightful hosts and very accommodating. This clean and light basement apartment is comfortable and has the basics for making simple meals, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi Roku streaming service. It is steps away from frequent bus service into town, with easy transfers to the T and commuter trains. We found it easy to get around and were happy not to drive. There are some shops and restaurants within easy walking distance, including a hardware store, Trader Joe’s and a lovely Italian grocery store. We would be happy to stay here again!

    I had a wonderful 6-week stay here and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!1. Thoughtful and Kind Hosts:From the moment I booked, the hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful—even months before my arrival. They provided detailed information about check-in (which was super easy) and went above and beyond to share suggestions for local food spots, grocery stores, parking, and more.2. Fantastic Location:The property is just steps from the 77 bus line, which made getting to Harvard Square simple and convenient. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely, with a nearby town center that has everything you could need—restaurants, shops, and daily essentials—all within walking distance.3. Cozy and Well-Equipped Space:The room itself was clean, charming, and extremely comfortable. It was thoughtfully stocked with everything I needed for a longer stay: books, extra blankets, multiple charging ports, ample lighting, and even toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. While it doesn't have a full kitchen (just a hot plate and microwave), it was perfect for someone like me who isn’t cooking full meals every day. Ideal for students, travelers, or anyone on the go.Throughout my stay, I had a few visitors (my partner, mom, and a friend at different times), and there was enough space for us to live, sleep, and work comfortably.Overall, a truly pleasant experience. I'd happily stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to

    We really loved this place. Stayed for a week and enjoyed having an actual home away from home. We brought our daughter along who is under 2 and she loved the appartment as well since she had a lot of space to move around. I can therefore totally recommend this appartment for a small family as well. The neighborhood felt safe and friendly. We were there during Halloween and went Trick or Treating in the neighborhood and had some nice conversations. Thanks for a wonderful week in Arlington, Gina and Oscar!

    It’s close to walking trails, grocery stores, and restaurants, and has what I think are the three key components of a good interior: nice shower, perfect temperature, and comfortable bed. I will be back for sure if they’ll have me.

    The Owners put a lot into remodeling this property. They did not cut corners. This is the nicest VRBO we've ever stayed at. It really made our Boston stay!!! Thank you.
