Charming 1891 Victorian in exclusive Avon Hill neighborhood, 10-min walk to Harvard Sq, 5-min walk to Porter Sq. subway stop.

Four bedrooms on the second floor, including a master suite w/ king size bed and ensuite bath, a second large bedroom with a Calif. king, and two smaller bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a twin bed and second twin mattress. There is a separate full bath on the second floor and a half bath on the first floor.There is also a couch in that livingroom that opens into a double bed. Open kitchen, dining, living area on first floor, wonderful for entertaining.
There is a 110' driveway for parking. Rear deck with table, patio with grille and 150 yr-old beech tree in a shaded back yard. It's a great retreat for a family gathering at graduation time, or for a family visiting the Boston area in July or August. Wifi and cable included.

We do not do long term rentals (e.g. month-long), particularly in the fall when my wife is teaching at her university.

    Visa is incredibly nice, flexible, and communicative. We absolutely loved her house and would absolutely stay there again. It was perfect for our group.

    Wonderful location. T extremely accessible. Owners so very responsive. Had absolutely everything our family of 6, with 3 generations, needed - enough bedrooms, baths, good air conditioning, not too many stairs to climb. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

    This is a Victorian home in a treed and lovely neighborhood within easy walking distance of Harvard Square. The owners are friendly, accessible, and available. We were surprised to learn that a couple lives on the top floor of the house, but they were very quiet and we never saw them. Parking is tight, and we got ticketed on the street—we would have liked to have that on-street parking permit if only for the times when we were swapping out cars in the driveway (our party had three cars). These were minor details in a stay that was otherwise flawless. Morning coffee on their deck, well-stocked kitchen for cooking together, absolute quiet in the neighborhood, beautiful walks into the Square—I could go on. Perfect house share for our college reunion.

    There was much to love about this house, and overall we had a very nice time. One significant concern was that the renters who live in an apartment above the bedrooms

    We needed a place to stay, very last minute, to gather as a family to say farewell to our mother who passed away recently. The location and house was the perfect respite for us as we attended to one another during a very emotional week.

    Our group (several families) were attending a friends wedding in Boston and this house was perfect. Lots of space and bedrooms and great location walkable to T, restaurants, local vs park for the kids. Highly recommend Bagelsaurus nearby for breakfast
