I was part of a group of 7 and we had a fabulous time. The house itself was loaded with dishes and silverware and household items and we all had room to unpack as well. Even though the owners live in the house when they’re not renting we all had plenty of room for our own things. Location was the other issue and it was amazing. We were in the Porter Square area and there was a grocery store, hardware store, etc. and then so many restaurants. Totally positive experience. Thank you Dean & Veda.

Beautiful family home with very pleasant kitchen/dining/living area on ground floor and 4 comfortable bedrooms on second floor. Historic home with lots of books, atmosphere and relaxed setting with gracious hosts and spacious front and back porches for relaxing and enjoying the flowers and lawn views. Perfect location a couple of blocks from bikeshare and transit and restaurants, great residential neighborhood.

The house itself is beautiful, if a little worn. And our stay was fine, but the property description is very misleading. This is NOT a true VRBO. Not at all what I was expecting from the listing. The owners live in the house and move down to a basement studio when they rent the house. The closets, drawers, shelves and bathrooms are filled with their personal effects. They cleared off a shelf in the bedroom and moved clothes to either side of the closet, leaving a very small space for our clothes right in the middle of theirs. Personal products handing in the shower. Owner was frequently present. Just be prepared.

It’s a nice neighborhood, older home that needs some updates but it was fine for our Boston wedding stay

We loved the house, wonderful historic building with lots of character. (my bedroom was in a round room). The living and bedroom accommodations were very comfortable. The location is very convenient -near restaurants, grocery shopping, other stores etc, and bus and subway stops.

We had a group of four adults staying in Cambridge as part of a pre-graduation trip. The location of the house was amazing and had everything we needed for a great stay. The host was communicative throughout and we did not have any issues.

This house was the perfect "home away from home" for both my family and another family traveling with us. The hosts were wonderful and helped us get situated before leaving the property to us for our stay. The neighborhood was beautiful, with easy access to many great restaurants and public transportation. We all enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
