Home away from home.
We were in town for the New Balance Indoor Track Nationals. Our two athletes were able to relax and eat well which gave them a great start for competition. Susan was an amazing host. She provide help when needed, recommendations for pizza and driving directions. The only thing that would be helpful was to know that the king bedroom can only be accessed through another bedroom which was tricky for us staying with non family members.Other than that everything else wes just right.

Great Stay
I have a son who attends Babson College. He turned 21 on 11/19 and he was not coming home for Thanksgiving. So we took the double celebration to him. We did not want to stay in a hotel and be on top of each other for 5 days and four nights, so we thought we would stay at a VRBO Residence. The stay was fantastic, everything we needed was in place, everyone had their own space. I am now a believer. The space was exactly what we needed and wanted. Excellent Stay!

Nice neighborhood
The house was nice, in good condition, and in a nice neighborhood. The listing does advertise three bedrooms which is accurate however, in order to access the king bedroom you must walk through another bedroom. There aren’t three private rooms.

Great location to Boston and environs!
Easy to drive virtually anywhere in Greater Boston area - and short drive to downtown. Convenient to shopping. House is well supplied with furniture for dining and relaxing, as well as kitchen needs and equipment, linens, and lots of TVs. Susan was an excellent host - very pleasant and responsive to our questions and any needs. Our only inconveniences were that second full bathroom was on first floor away from 3 upstairs bedrooms. Also to get to “main” (the one with king bed) bedroom requires walking through one of the other bedrooms.

Great spot for family vacation
Adorable house in a great neighborhood. We enjoyed the house, the location was excellent and allowed us to visit all of the New England states during our vacation. Downtown West Roxbury was about a 1/2 mile away and was a cute town with great restaurant options and a nearby grocery store and Starbucks. We enjoyed the neighborhood- nice and quiet, out of the bustle of downtown Boston, and a great area for evening walks. We had a family of 4 including two older teenagers and really enjoyed this location.

Between Fenway and Foxbourgh
The house is in a quintessential New England neighborhood with beautiful manicured lawns and leafy streets. If you haven’t visited New England you’ll immediately be impressed with the architecture. The house is very spacious for guest to have privacy and meet up for activities. It’s clean nice and has everything you need. The best part is you can go to concert or game at Fenway or Gillette or both in the same weekend. We had fun no wonder this place gets great ratings.

Very Nice!
We enjoyed our stay very much.The home is beautiful. We Ubered to Boston several times from the house so we didn’t have the hassle of driving. We had one problem with a door and Susan came right over to fix it and was incredibly gracious and helpful. The only thing that guests need to be aware of is that the three bedrooms are upstairs and only one bathroom is upstairs. The other bathroom is downstairs. The description says that, but just make sure you are aware; also, guests must walk through one bedroom to get to the master bedroom.
