About this house rental
Situated in Melrose, this charming house for $404 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. 5-bedroom, 2 full bath house, 7 mi to Boston/airport, 1000 FT to bus and train and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Luxury appointments, upscale furniture, hotel bedding, "5-star kitchen" per a famous chef who stayed, AC in all rooms except baths (mini-splits coming in Apr '24), fenced in yard, and 3-car driveway. The City of Melrose was the #1 real estate market in the U.S. in 2015 and #4 in 2020 (search "hottest zip code melrose ma 2015"). It receives praise from visitors due to its quaint downtown within walking distance, restaurants and a Whole Foods supermarket. *1st Floor: Large, open-concept, "5-star kitchen," (includes paper towel roll, dish cloths, new sponge and food staples, e.g. cooking oil, spices, sugar, coffee, etc.); dining room; full bath; and foyer.

There is no on-street parking overnight. Check in is 4 pm or later and check out is by 11 am, but I can accommodate early arrivals or late departures depending on other guests' timing. Please contact me to coordinate about 2 weeks prior. Please tell me about your group, pets and the reaon you're visiting when inquiring or booking. The minimum age of the oldest person should be 35 and good reviews are important, but I make exceptions. This a great place for family and mature friends to gather, but not a party house. Parties will result in immediate eviction, no refund for the remaining days and a charge for any cleaning beyond the normal cleaning fee. Boston Marathon guests must arrive on at least the Friday of the weekend prior.

We recently spent 3 nights at this beautiful home in Melrose. We had six adults and one child in our party as well as our two dogs. The home was spacious , warm and very clean. We had plenty of room to spread out. The location is perfect. It’s easy to get into Boston via the train. The station is just a few minutes from the house. It’s also a very short drive to get on I-93 and I-95. There are several great restaurants within walking distance. Greg, the host, was outstanding. He was very communicative and accommodating . We will definitely be booking this house again. I highly recommend it!!

The house is a 4 BR, one of which is a lovely 3rd floor loft with one full bathroom on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms and one full bath off the kitchen on main floor. Spacious, well appointed kitchen. Had a small problem with the oven tripping the breaker which Greg promptly arrived and resolved. Great location just 2 miles from my daughter's house and right beside main street. The only reason I gave a 4 star was a dirty pan left in the oven and no towels or body wash in the bathrooms. Plenty of towels in laundry room tho. Will definitely stay here again!

This home is absolutely beautiful (just as pictured) and comfortable. It was not much of a drive to Salem or Boston, so well located! There was plenty of things near by for needs and the commuter trains were close too! We loved our stay and would book it again anytime! Thanks for the great time and letting us use your home Greg!

Was everything we hoped for and more. The house was spotless and the owner even left shampoo and soap on the porch for us to use. We forgot something at the house and the owner sent it right back to us. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults. Great bedrooms and the dining room table was great at night to sit around. We never even went to the basement that had couches and a TV. Will definitely stay again when we go to Boston. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Wonderful home in Melrose. We stayed here with 3 other couples and it was perfect. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The back porch was perfect for coffee in the morning. Everything was well communicated. Just a perfect host! We were able to walk to restaurants and shops in Melrose and also to the train to go to Boston. Melrose is an amazing small town. We will definitely book this house again when we return.

Comfy, lots of character, clean. Enclosed backyard for dogs. Well equipped kitchen, easy communication with owner. Perfect for us 5 adults. Good restaurants in walking distance. Too bad the orange lline is not running (repairs) .We were close enough to Boston, and Salem. Would definitely recommend.

We had a party of 8 at the property- 2 families- and it worked out really well. Greg was available and helped with any questions we had. Easy walk to the train station to get into Boston, and grocery store and restaurants around the corner.

As a party of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids in their mid-late teens), we really enjoyed the spaciousness & upkeep of the house, the very comfortable beds and the nice neighborhood. We've stayed at a lot of VRBO properties, and this is one of the best maintained places we've been at. Greg is an excellent host and very responsive - and he's a great resource for sightseeing tips! He clearly takes a lot of pride in the house, and it shows. The location is also great - the neighborhood is very quiet other than the commuter train passing through every now and then (which we liked!), and it's an easy walk downtown to good food and a bit of shopping. Access to Boston is also great - the commuter rail is super convenient (if a bit pricey) if you don't want to hassle with parking. The Orange Line (subway) is also pretty close by and cheaper. We thoroughly enjoyed our (all too short!) stay here and would rent from Greg again in a heartbeat. P.S. We didn't make use of it, but the basement "man cave" would be a great place to hang out on a hot summer night - a great place to chill, literally!

Fantastic house in a great location. An easy 7 minute walk to the Commuter Rail right into Boston. Well-appointed with toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo/soap/laundry detergent so you don't need to worry about those essentials. We recommend! We'd stay here again.

This is a quaint property in a fun Boston neighborhood with lots of other older homes. We used it as a staging point to easily get to both downtown Boston and the Cape Ann area. It is close to light rail, lots of restaurants, and grocery store options. We also made great use of the back deck where we enjoyed most of our meals. Overall, we had a good experience.
