Stayed Apr 8, 2025I was impressed with the extras provided by the host: toiletries, coffee, etc. The entire experience was very positive. I would stay here again and recommend it to others needing a safe, quiet place.

Stayed Aug 30, 2022We had a great stay here in this nicely decorated, clean room. The bed was soft and comfy with lots of pillows. There was everything we needed including toiletries in case we had forgotten something. The 10am checkout time was a little earlier than we would have liked but wouldn’t deter us from staying there again

Stayed Aug 3, 2022The location was lovely, just what we wanted, close to attractions we wanted to see in Boston. Safe. Clean, A/C. My son loved that we could log onto our own Netflix when we were chilling at night. The Keurig was a nice touch. There were a couple personal items left in the desk from the person before us, I assume, and I think she didn't remember to log out of her Netflix, but that was minor. Overall really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed Sep 3, 2021Access was very easy and having a parking space for your use is a rare find in the Boston area. So nice to have. The space was impeccably clean, comfortable and quiet. Great location for Harvard, BU areas.

Stayed Sep 5, 2025The Harvard Room served our purpose. We do not like hotels so this was the perfect option. Plenty of room to unwind at the end of the day walking the streets of Boston. Clean and fresh.The hosts were awesome. They were excellent the whole way from communicating proactively to making sure we had no problem accessing the unit, etc.We highly recommend this VRBO option.

Stayed Jun 18, 2025The stay here was perfect for my wife and me. It is close ( 0.5 miles) to the purple line, even closer (.2 miles) to a bus stop, and close to restaurants and a brewery (Notch).Note: Big Daddy's Pizza is very close.2 miles) and was superb!

Stayed Jun 23, 2025This property is in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance to Pavement Coffee, the Brighton Emporium (a must-see shop of art, antiques, and oddities!), Star Market, and the Speedway area with Notch Brewery and a variety of dining options (selections vary by the day of the week but Notch allows you to get food delivered as well).This property has the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, surpassing my own. Basic comforts are provided for, and there is a lot of privacy.

Stayed Mar 14, 2025We stay in a lot of short-term rentals for travel. This one was a standout. The included parking is a huge benefit. The neighborhood provides walkable restaurants and feels mostly safe. We walked home in the dark, and I wouldn't have wanted to be alone as a woman, but it was fine with a friend. The room was clean and large enough to be comfortable. The bed was SO comfortable. I picky about mattresses and loved it. The house is a bit noisy. You cam hear other guests and people walking above you. A guest came in at about 3 a.m. loudly talking and playing music. But overall people were respectful and there was minimal traffic noise for how bustling an area it is. The little things matter to me. Like there were small toothpaste tubes available. We miscommunicated and neither of us brought toothpaste. What a nice surprise to find some! There was tea and coffee available and the online help guides meant there was zero confusion about anything. There were a couple of inconveniences like the headboard was a little noisy and could be better attached and you get water in the face when you turn the shower on because of how it's set up. I had to say a couple negative things, right? But they were so minimal compared to how great everything else was. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. We didn't have any issues, but I feel like they would be on top if any. Check out was a breeze. There aren't any chores to be done which is lovely. I will definitely see if this place

Stayed Apr 18, 2024The Harvard Room was perfect for our two-night stay close to downtown. The room was immaculate, quiet and newly furnished with everything we needed, right down to virtually unlimited coffee capsules. The owners made check-in extremely easy and answered questions quickly. Having a commuter rail station (Boston Landing) only a half-mile away was a big plus. The station for Fenway, Fine Arts Museum and other top Boston attractions was just one stop away. We're hoping to go back soon and continue discovering all Boston offers.

Stayed Sep 19, 2023Check in process was very easy. There is a main code for the door leading to the entry of the two rental units and then a different code for the door to the room. Our code to the room didn't work but the owner responded within a few minutes with a different code. The laundry is right in the entryway to the two units and it was very nice to get to do a load of laundry. The room had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable with 4 nice pillows and plenty of towels were provided. Having parking was a huge perk! It is true what I read in some of the other reviews that you can hear people walking on the floor above the basement unit but honestly it wasn't bad. The walking started around 7 am and we were usually up and getting ready to go explore Boston anyway by that time. The neighborhood seemed safe with nice cars parked on the street, people jogging, and families walking with strollers.
