This apartment was the perfect amount of space with the perfect amenities in a perfect location! The town of Melrose is beautiful with plenty of dining and shopping within walking distance. We were a short drive from Concord, Salem, and downtown Boston. It was easy to take public transportation if needed.
This was the cleanest rental property I have stayed in. I loved that hand soap, dish soap, and bath soap were provided, especially since I forgot to pack my bath soap! The apartment was well-furnished and comfortable. The decor was delightful and perfect for the space.
We look forward to staying here again- hopefully in slightly warmer weather!

Overall a great house for families - bunk beds, an entire play area in the attic, and a playground at the end of the street! The owner was super responsive and answered all of my questions, even late at night. Would highly recommend if you’re going anywhere in downtown Boston or the surrounding areas!
We had a few minor complaints, so wanting to make others with families aware for their stay. First, there was no shampoo or conditioner provided so we had to go get some at the store. And even though it is clearly a house for families with young kids, no kid-friendly utensils, cups, or plates were available. Lastly, we couldn’t find extra blankets so when we got chilly, we couldn’t find any to add to beds or use on the couch.
But those were minor inconveniences compared to the overall stay - we had to drag our kids out of the attic because they were having such a great time!

This was a great place to stay for our girls trip to Salem. The apartment was clean, very comfortable and homie. We were within walking distance to the downtown area and close to public transportation. The only slight down fall was the staircase going up to the apartment. It was a struggle getting our luggage up and down. We would definitely stay here again though.

The property neighborhood was idyllic and perfectly placed for our day trips to Salem, Rockport, and Boston. Sarah was gracious in advising us how to manage the T into Boston, however finding a parking spot at the T terminal was a challenge at 11 AM; consider walking to T terminal. Living quarters were expansive, clean, and well equipped.
We had a wonderful experience. Thank you, Sarah!!

An excellent place with off-street parking. Nice neighbourhood and close to shopping. The place is clean with a cool historic vibe, but with all necessary amenities. Really enjoyed the covered porch in the front where we had morning coffee on the rocking chairs. Highly recommended and we would love to return.

Beautiful 2nd floor. Spacious with lovely front and back porch. Great location. Hot water! We truly enjoyed are stay. We were able to keep the front and back doors open; allowing the screen doors to cool the living areas. Bedroom air conditioners kept the rooms cool with the doors shut.

We stayed here while visiting Boston and Salem. It was a perfect location! The town of Melrose is adorable, and the apartment was perfect. It had plenty of space and everything we could possibly need. It was a beautiful retreat after busy days of sightseeing.

The second floor apartment more than met our needs for a six day vacation focused in Boston and the surrounding area (Boston, Salem, Cape Ann area). Communication with Sarah and check in were a breeze and access to Boston was simple via car; if you are driving I recommend using the car to/from Boston. Parking at Boston Common garage was very affordable and the drive was easy.
Melrose itself has some great little restaurants to check out (Colette Bakery for breakfast pastries in a true French style and Mexico Lindo were two of our faves).
The weather was varied, but when it was very hot the apartment was also pretty warm so we were thankful for the AC in the bedrooms.
The rental listing is 100% accurate and I would recommend it to anyone considering a trip to the area.

This is a beautiful property and far away enough from the city but close to public transportation to get into Boston easily.
Sarah was quick to respond to all my questions prior to the trip, including how to navigate the subway.

Sarah has the perfect location! Walkable location to restaurants, easy drive or mass transit ride to Boston. The home immaculate and roomy with ample space for 5. My favorite - having coffee on the porch!

Squeaky clean home with plenty of room in a traditional Bostonian neighborhood. Loved the large homes in the area. Close to the Orange line MBTA station to get in and out of Boston to see the sights. Would def stay again, one of the best vrbos we have stayed at.

Such a cute house and location. Had everything we needed, also walking distance from the town. Ubers come out there and it’s not crazy expensive to get to Boston. Would definitely stay here again if/when we come back!

Stayed here to run the Boston Marathon. Had a group of five and there was plenty of room. The apartment is lovely, Nice quiet location, pretty downtown area within walking distance. Not as close to downtown Boston as I might have liked but not as expensive as staying there. Nearby trails were nice. Was able to check in early, which helped a lot. Communication with manager was great!

My group had a very comfortable and relaxing few days. The place is beautifully maintained, very clean and well-kept! It’s set in a historic town minutes from downtown Boston. I highly recommend this location for anyone who’s looking to feel like they’re in a home away from home.

We enjoyed our stay alot. The appartment is very huge. We enjoyed the spacy modern rooms. The kids loved their bunk beds. Everything was thought of. Kitchen was fully equipped. We could ride the train for about 30 minutes to Boston downtown city and could relax in the evenings on the wonderful porch. We can definetly recommend this flat. Sarah was very helpful and responsive too.

Our family stayed here for a short trip to Boston and Salem. At the last minute we decided to stay an extra day. The property owner was quick to answer our request and was able to add the extra day without incident. The home was extremely clean, and was appointed with every comfort item you could wish for. The AC units in the bedrooms were a life saver since the temps at that time were in the 90’s.. they even helped cool the rest of the house during the day. The location was close to a grocery store, a community park, and Downtown Melrose. The house is located close to the commuter rail, which was pretty easy to use, even for a tourist. And it’s a short drive to Salem from Melrose. Overall, it was a great experience staying at the location, I highly recommend it, and would definitely bring my family there again.
