The house has 3000 sqft living area and is in a quiet area in Arlington height and with steps away to bus station (T station/Boston). The house has 4 bedrooms and one additional guest bedroom which is located on the first floor. The house is child friendly. Equipped with crib and play & pack. The house is also equipped with large new kitchen and bathroom, open concept throughout the first floor. Large basement with 65 inch smart TV. Parking space can fit 3 compact-size cars.
Clean home with spacious kitchen and short drive to Boston, Lexington and Concord. Lots of historic sites close by. Driveway was a little tight for 2 vehicles but we made it work.
Great place to stay. A little short on towels, plates and kitchen seating for a place that sleeps 10, but the hosts were very communicative and everything was as advertised. Easy drive into downtown Boston for our family vacation. Recommend!
Nice place in an area with few short term rentals and no hotels
The house was nice. Looked like a recent renovation. Comfortable beds/pillows. Nice towels. Good WiFi. Key code for entry. We didnât cook, but the kitchen was well equipped. One cannot park on the street. The driveway accommodates 2 cars, perhaps 3 if they are small.
Seven family members stayed for four night. The house was super clean, lots of room for us all to be comfortable. It was a relatively easy drive into Boston and Salem. We did enjoy our stay.
Home was well maintained and close enough to Boston but far enough from the hustle/bustle. The towns of Arlington, Belmont and Watertown are charming. Plenty of rooms for good sized family or small family reunion or bunch of friends! House was clean with nice touches. I will stay here again.
My parents live in town so it was lovely to have all my family to stay at this Vrbo and be able to celebrate with my Dad! The house was perfect..the rooms were spacious and the kitchen bathroom areas were so clean! The host was very accommodating and communicated with me very quickly!
This home is very spacious and met all of our needs. We were there for a wedding in Boston and did not spend much time in the house. Itâs a little spartan in furnishings, and we ran out of mugs in the kitchen. The home was very clean and comfortable. It is not near public transportation and going in and out of the city three days in a row was a little taxing. I grew up around Boston and I guess I was just surprised by how much more traffic there was! All in all a great rental.
This home was perfect for my group of 8 adults. Plenty of space for us to hang out, but not be crowded. Absolutely beautiful home with a wonderful kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, and all of the amenities you may need. Probably about 25-30 minutes from downtown, so you will need a vehicle or use the public transportation. We did take the subway from downtown and then the connecting bus, which stopped about a block from the house, so it was perfect!
The house is very spacious and the layout of the 4 bedrooms upstairs offered privacy and soundproofing which was great because we had 2 infants. Bathrooms are terrific and well designed. The neighborhood is adorable and walkable and felt very safe. While we were looking forward to using the finished basement space, we werenât able to because of the musty smell. Also, I highly recommend that the host use non toxic laundry detergent. I had to wash some of our bedding in some that I brought as some of our group is highly sensitive to chemicals. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
We had a family funeral and needed a space for 5 adults. The home is newly remodeled and beautiful. Clean and tastefully decorated. It was the perfect choice. We had plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen and living room area was perfect to enjoy a meal and spend time together. I will definitely stay there again.
We were disappointed to learnâat the very last minuteâthat our original booking had been double booked. It was a stressful surprise, especially so close to our travel date. That said, the host did step up quickly and offered us a different home to stay in. While it wasnât the ideal start to our trip and not the home we had originally chosen, we appreciate that a solution was found promptly and we were still able to enjoy our marathon weekend. Credit where itâs due for the quick recovery in a tough situation.
We met for a corporate retreat and really enjoyed our stay. Quiet, safe neighborhood. Very clean. Lovely setup.
Owners may want to consider labeling that very slight step in the Master Bedroom, as we had multiple people trip on it, and also consider adding towel racks in the bathrooms and bedside lamps in the bedrooms.
Would stay here again, absolutely! Recommend.
We enjoyed this spacious, airy and nicely appointed, recently renovated home. There were 8 adults and we all enjoyed the big kitchen and dining area, and played games in the adjacent living room. The younger pair brought their Switches and took full advantage of the large TV. We were in town to go see Circus Smirkus in Waltham, and the location was a reasonable drive to that Gore Place and all the stops in and around Boston. Great that there was off-street parking too.
Great location, updated, clean and plenty of room for our multigenerational family trip!
Our family of five plus grandparents enjoyed our stay in Arlington. Great WiFi, on demand hot water, great appliances and kitchen. We found this house to be just as listed with an excellent location and beautiful/spacious interior. The full bath and bedroom on the first floor was useful, plus the bonus space in the finished basement. Theyâve done a great job updating the house. I will note that since itâs primarily a rental, there arenât as many âlived inâ touches like you might find at an older place or someoneâs primary residence (e.g., a collection of books, a hook by the door, etc.) The positives drastically outweigh those nit picks.
Nice stay! Home was a great home base as we visited everything to see in the Boston area. Owners were very responsive when we needed them. Probably wouldnât recommend for more than 10 people- additional sleeping spaces only on couches (kids probably wouldnât care as much). Also listing isnât clear but you will be charged for occupancy over 8 people even though it clearly sleeps 10. There isnât enough couch seating in the main living area for gathering your whole group- this didnât bother us much as we didnât spend much time at the actual property.
The property was easy to find and well lit to get into! The kitchen open concept room was very nice.
The only helpful critiques I would give are:
1. I would like to have had top sheets on the beds - none were there
2. The couch in the living room is way too small too accommodate more than two adult's - so with this many bedrooms I think you could provide better seating for guests wanting to watch a movie together at night. We had to go to the basement to watch movies.
Lovely well designed updated new property. Very tasteful. Outstanding kitchen. comfortable beds. Owner pleasant and appreciative of our couple of suggestions. 5 lovely bedrooms.
The owner communicated immediately. The house has very comfortable beds in all 5 bedrooms. The kitchen worked well as we cooked for six adults for two of our nights. I would highly recommend this house.
