Park and ballfield across the street. Nice spacious living area on 2nd floor and bedrooms on 3rd floor. Beds were comfortable. It was perfect for our 2 adult children and grandchild to meet us for a family gathering in Boston. Host was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely book again when traveling to Boston. ##### Marie C.

Large 4 bedroom home, large rooms and a great balcony that we used every night. Host provided plenty of coffee which was nice. Very convenient with only about 8-10 minutes walk to the subway and 7-8 stops to downtown. There is also a small mall about 5 minutes walk. Host was very very responsive to every request. The area is Dorchester so do a little research. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh k. 2 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Venue-it could not have been better. Spacious comfortable clean rooms. Shared spaces are on the second floor with the 4 nice large bedrooms on the 3rd floor. There's enough separation between floors to party on one floor and still sleep upstairs. Location is easy access to travel around the city. The host set up Karaoke for us. Nobody could sing but they had a great time, LOL. My only heads up is that there are 4 bedrooms not 5 but you could sleep on the couches in the main floor if needed. The host was great! I highly suggest this location! ##### Leigh k.
